    Audrey Tang did a lot of things related to this whilst they were Minister of Digital Affairs of Taiwan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Tang

    In an entirely different qualitative sense, this post reminded me of the short story by Kafka, Before the Law. I won’t paste the whole thing here, but it’s a really short read:

    > Parliament cannot restate the entire legal corpus each session.

    IMHO the biggest mistake. It should be like that.

    Because right now for mere mortal it's impossible to find out if some law or paragraph is still in effect.

    I guess this is not meant as a general introduction, but it would have been useful to acknowledge the differences between different legal systems somewhere at the start?

    (Even if it's only to argue that they aren't all that different in practice.)
