That is disappointing. Lawmakers who think like programmers seems like it would be a huge improvement on the current system.

Lawmakers who think like programmers might be an improvement. But I'm not sure.

On Less Wrong, this almost reads as "if only lawmakers were more like me, things would be okay." I'm skeptical.

It would probably have to be coupled, though, with a state where laws are actually enforced consistently, and can be changed quickly if they end up screwing things up massively.
