Do You Think Any Politicians Can Code?

Not sure if to post here or higher learning, but

Congress? Senate? Local levels?

I consider programming like a second language, and think if these politicians want to write legislation on encryption, net neutrality, and cybersecurity, while claiming "cyber warfare" will be the next cold war - I would imagine they should have at least some minor working knowledge of how these machines function. I mean back in the day, at least some of the politicians had worked in factories and on machines to some capacity. I wonder how many years away we are from guys who worked in the tech industry start running. Especially since the tech boom has lined a lot of their pockets enough for them to be able to run.

These days I have a hard time believing politicians can read much less code.

they can hire consultants. you can't expect them to be experts in everything they legislate

Politicians try to regulate neighborhoods they will never step foot in, you think they'll attempt to learn how to code despite proposing laws on tech?
