Against: in my romantic view after watching way too much 'Suits', being a lawyer is mostly about convincing the other party to settle. By becoming a coder instead you may end up becoming nerdified and hence less capable of making the other side settle. The lawyer I used is a very bald old man who wears suits and is generally speaking a little bit intimidating. He knows a bit about law and a bit about humanity. He doesn't use computers other than to check his email and write documents in word. And he did his thing and convinced my boss that he'd better pay up if he wants to get rid of me. That's worth the 200E per hour I paid. I really don't need someone to do coding for 200E per hour (my own wage is more like E18) and I certainly don't need another 'me' to represent me.
