The longer I’m in IT, the more I realize that the adeptus mechanicus might be on to something with beseeching the machine spirit.

A lot of people think I’m joking when I say I’m a good at what I do because I’m a witch doctor with computers. Software Engineering requires experience with the occult, at a minimum.

“In my professional opinion, this network is haunted.”
…haunted?
(Points to various certifications) “HAUNTED.”

And for some reason printers seem to be the place where the spirits are strongest

The demons are attracted to doorways, passages between spaces, worlds, and realms. And printers are the ultimate doorway: a portal through which ideas and concepts can leave the software realm and enter the physical

I think you mean demons

In effect, we conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells.

I actually had a concept for a fantasy world, where magicians craft spells much the same way software devs do. So you make your spell and publish it to the ether, and then anyone can invoke it using the magic word (package name), assuming the have the right dependencies available (eye of newt or whatever). But spells might have bugs. So if you used eye of red newt while the spell smith built it with the expectation you had eye of blue newt you might get unintended consequences

i mean it’s pretty common for runes to just be conceptual programming languages and if you do something wrong then instead of having a lighter you get a bomb
