That's like arguing you shouldn't the read source for the software you use because you're not an expert.

It’s more like arguing you shouldn’t self diagnose your symptoms because you’re not a doctor.

And also, someone who doesn’t know how to code isn’t going to be able to make sense of the source so that particular type of Dunning-Kruger problem is self correcting with programming in a way it’s not with law (or medicine).

You'll learn a lot by reading and it's probably easier to understand than you might think. If you don't do this other people take advantage of you. They do it a lot more than you would think.

Who’s self-diagnosing? It’s a legal opinion. It’s published to be read by anybody.

Says someone who hasn't run into a SpringBoot application ported almost verbatim to Python.
