software and magical thinking

The fact that we consider "bugs" in the code to even be a thing betrays that we imagine computers and software to on some level be magical tools that do not what they're coded to do, but rather what we expect them to do.

Bugs don't exist. Software does exactly what it's written to do.

If you type 3+5 into a calculator but wanted 3*5, it's not a bug that the calculator answered 8.
