Government and code

(1/2) > >>

qwertyuiopas:
For any programmers here, compare any given governmant to a constantly evolving program.


They are constantly changing and building, and lately it has started to slow down from all that old deadweight.


For a computer program, that means it is time to refactor or rewrite some or all of it.




The question is, why hasn't that happened to a governmant yet?
And how can we make it happen(other than threaten magma floods and nuclear bombings)?

Nilocy:
Well, I'm guessing rewrite anything thats over 20 years old, make every alot more concise and succinct. Thus reducing the red tape everywhere and making the process of government much much more streamlined.

Frelock:
You know, they tried that in a place called Latin America.  20 years of a single government?  Sounds like it's time for a coup!

Didn't work out too well for them....

Yea, "refactor or rewrite" and "revolutionary govenment overthrow" are basicaly the same words in different lingos.

qwertyuiopas:
It depends. Refactor or rewrite is generally only going to be sections at a time, and supported at least partially by the government itself.

Overthrowing a government is just discarding everything and starting over from nothing.
