Comment on Ask HN: Are lawyers with SWE backgrounds useful?

Comments

In the U.S., you may have run across Eugene Volkoh[1] on the news, as a constitutional law expert. He was first famous (well, in our circles) as a software developer; he and his father sold a really popular utility for HP3000 minicomputers that _everyone_ used. Always thought it was a shame such a good engineer decided to become a lawyer. :) On a side note, one of the best SWEs I ever worked with is now a professor of Economics.
