One of the things I like about programming is it feels like legit magic. You infuse a lightning stone with words of power that bend its mind to your will. One must be cautious. It will do what is asked if it. Exactly what is asked if it. Ask carefully.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”
Arthur C. Clarke, 1962, “Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible”
Computers and tech in general often feels like magic. The first computer I ever used was a ZX Spectrum, now I have something vastly more computationally powerful, and constantly connected to a worldwide communication network and knowledge repository in my pocket!
It’s amazing any of it actually works, especially as we don’t always seem to know how it works.
Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Wireless is magic and no technical jargon can convince me otherwise. How do you begin to troubleshoot magic?
First you must harness the powers of the electromagnetic spectrum.
With a wand.
Magic has rules too, you just need to know them.
At least good magic does 😆

This would be a great fantasy novel honestly.
Teaching sand to think was a mistake
There’s a series called Magic 2.0 that comes close. You might like it!
Well, it’s not quite fantasy, but the Laundry Files novels by Charles Stross merge the concept of “math/algorithms is magic” with lovecraftian horror and satire.
Did you mean, let me rewrite it from scratch? :p
I imagine this is what parts of the windows OS is like.

Its basically why one of windows 11s goals is complete rewrite of the start bar. Just to get away from legacy spaghetti code from ME.
Windows 11 is just a reskined version of windows 10
