Programmer here. Can confirm. Coding is just a list of instructions we send to the tiny people inside so they know what to do.
Electrical Engineer here. Electrons are people too! Very tiny, quantum people, with very tiny, quantum hopes, and very tiny, quantum dreams!
Science cannot disprove this.
I hear electrons are really flaky. You tell them to show up at a specific place and time, and you just never know. Always getting involved in one entanglement or another.
It’s frustrating because they’re so literal when following instructions. I wish they’d do what I want, not what I said.
The trick is to say what you mean ☝🤓
That really isn’t a bad metaphor for how the computer processes code.
pretty much
They don’t always listen, though.
That’s why I’m constantly shoving cookies into the case. So the computer gnomes are happy.
Computers are powered by magic smoke.
When the smoke escapes, the computer doesn’t work anymore.
Also, the earth isn’t flat.

What in the schizophrenia word salad did I just read?
More about the Time Cube (warning: you’ll probably end up with more questions after reading it)
Exactly that.

I say that computers work because we tricked some rocks into thinking by carving special runes into them.
It’s not that magic doesn’t exist, it’s just that our current spells and rituals are rudimentary.
I’d say it’s that the information on how it works is out there and not secret. If I want to turn lead into gold that knowledge is available to me, I just need access to a nuclear reactor and to learn a fuck ton of stuff.
Also the fact that it’s all very math dependent doesn’t help. The “when will I use this” subject is the biggest prerequisite to magic
funnily far more true than many might believe
…don’t forget it wouldn’t have worked if we hadn’t tamed lightning and channelled it into the runes.
The smoke that comes out of computers sometimes is caused by the little people getting pissed off and lighting little fires out of protest.
Haha what? There are no small people in computers, what are you talking about?

Found the small person.
Who wants to bet he’s just a Helpdesk tech and has no idea what an actual computer engineer is?
I’m a data engineer and I have no idea what a computer engineer is.
I know an engineer who’s into all kinds of bat-shit conspiracy theories…
Do the little people have pointy hats?
Get him! Get the geologist and silence him! He’s unveiled the truth and now they’ll take our tiny people away from us!
Probably working for Big Geology and the mainstream media!
I am a tool and die maker and I affirm that heart attacks are caused by tiny, airborne sharks that sound exactly like Steven Crowder on helium. When you breathe them in they go to your heart and literally attack it.
Inside every computer there’s a little person
A very wholesome and talented person
And he loves you
I was really expecting a Rick roll here, this is even better
At least he used “affirm” rather than “confirm”.
What’s up with all the boxes around the text?
No idea. I found it elsewhere and it made me laugh.
