I am a computer scientist by training but I have been doing patent work for the past 7 years. I am going to take Ivan on Tech's smart contract writing course that releases the same time EOSIO 1.0 does. I am more excited about EOS than any other project in which I have invested, but I also would like to get back into coding and help build the future we want for humanity. I thought being a lawyer would give me a way to help with that, but smart contracts have the ability to order society and the economy with less expense added by actors that do not add actual value to the transaction.
