Lawyer. With years of building and debugging code I find the logical aspects of the law rather interesting. Though the amount of reading, less so.

- motdiem 10y agoSame here. I find law intellectually fascinating, and my limited working around jurists and lawyers showed me there's a significant proximity with debugging and testing.
- arethuza 10y agoMy wife was a litigation lawyer for many years (she now works in-house) and while I can see the similarities with coding & debugging I think it would be the most frustrating thing imaginable. Imagine having code where the people writing it never run it (the people writing contracts often aren't the people who would run litigation) and where you would spend months arguing with other people what you think the code would do if it was run and only very rarely actually "run" the code in court and when you do it's difficult to predict what will actually happen!
