I've thought a lot about code being magic while watching Harry Potter over the years

Both take intense study and learning to master.
Both require you to say just the right thing to get it to work
Both make the impossible become possible
Both have edge cases and unintended side effects

... I could go on and on 😆

It's definitely an interesting thought that magic works "as intended", and code works "as built"... but it's still the closest thing to magic we have!

Computers and technology are like a wizarding world. Hackers are like Dark Wizards and learning cybersecurity is like Defense Against the Dark Arts

This has been on my mind recently as I became a bootcamp instructor a month ago. Pretty sure I'm a Ravenclaw, but what does Vue, JavaScript, and REST translate to? Please don't be divination...
