Y'know what would help protect those internet buildings from falling on people? A software building code

Really not looking forward to a regulated software industry. It will cause a lot of gatekeeping and bureaucracy. It's one of those things that may seem good, but in practice, it's pure waste in every way imaginable. Will just lead to exclusivity, gatekeeping and artificial friction. This is a hill I'm willing to die on. Those making software have plenty of incentives to make it good, and bad software is punished already to the fullest extend (because it's not fun to get compromised or your reputation ruined; this is a natural incentive)
