In general I want more politicians to be engineers or math/science types. Right now they're 95% lawyers, so they don't really represent the rest of society. I'm an engineer-type so I want to be better represented, I guess. I think it could happen. If Aaron Swartz had lived, I think he may have eventually run for office. We still have some in the HN community who could enter politics.

Could you not consider legislatures programmers as well? Programmers create software. Lawyers create law.
