Just like software systems legal systems should probably get "refactored" once in a while. But just like managers don't really understand that need, politicians

Just like software systems legal systems should probably get "refactored" once in a while. But just like managers don't really understand that need, politicians don't either.
- Sharlin 6y agoBesides being unfair to both managers and politicians, that analogy doesn’t work. Refactoring by definition does not affect the visible behavior of a program. The judicial system is not a computer and cannot just happily start executing a newly refactored program. This is doubly so in common law jurisdictions that lean heavily on precedents and case law.
