I thought this post was going a different direction. As in code that is "magic" versus code that is not. The difference being that the former is perhaps inscrutable to the user of it. They just pray that they invoked it correctly with the right incantations (configuration, parameters) and that it doesn't cause any unexpected casualties when run. Non-magic code is obvious what will happen and perhaps boring, even if intricate.
