I've had some good ability with reading laws thanks to programming experience. But I'd say law is more about reading and interpreting rules, while programming is about writing rules based off existing ones. I dislike reading code, so I'd probably not enjoy being a lawyer.
Philosophy is a nice parallel. Paul Graham is notable for being both philosopher and programmer.
- Mezzie 4y agoIt depends on which area of law. My experience (not a lawyer, but did legal/civics communication for a couple of years) is that legal theory and constitutional law (or whatever the local equivalent is) would be the best match because a lot of that is basically arguing about systems design. For someone who did like reading code, they would be more suited to patent or copyright law.
