"If you’ve ever written code, and if you’ve ever written a bug, then you will understand that code as law is terrible idea, especially when it comes to finance."

If your argument is that there could be bugs in the code, then how is this different from the law today? The legal system is rife with abuses and injustices. It most certainly has bugs as-is.

The difference is the judge that applies the law and looks at the context. Not that it is perfect.

You could still have judges looking at the context. The blockchain would only be for the written statutes and code.

Judges can also be incompetent. Just look at how magistrates don't even need a law degree nor pass the Bar.

Indeed, bugs are a feature
