The ethereum crowd has never really bought into the “code is law” thing, except maybe in marketing. There was that whole fork a few years ago between ETC and ETH when ETH reversed a big hack transaction.
- lawn 5y agoUp until the DAO hack (that you're referring to) "code is law" was commonly believed. That is until the Ethereum Core developers were massively affected by the hack and decided on an unprecedented rules rewrite to address the hack. (Which they haven't considered ever since, despite other hacks of the same type.)
- skinnymuch 5y agoYour just citing when they abandoned code is law. So it was a thing until your fork example.
