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. The stone will do what is asked of it. Exactly what is asked of 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”
What is the original source?
Did you mean, let me rewrite it from scratch? :p

This would be a great fantasy novel honestly.
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.
Hey thanks! These look interesting and I needed something more lighthearted to read.
