It'll happen incrementally. Each time the lawyer ruling class does something bad, like build a website that doesn't work, they'll need to give us a little more power in order to save them. Then after a long enough timeline, we'll win, and legal code will be executable.

I’m not sure it’ll work out this way because a lawyer can become a coder much easier than a coder can become a lawyer. Then again, lawyers are notoriously allergic to all-things-technology, so who knows.

Awesome, I was looking forward to Kafka running on EC2 instances.

And I meant Kafka as in Kafkaesque, not Apache Kafka.
