On the subject of treating compute like magic, as the author does:

People who grew up in the iPad generation cannot fathom understanding the intrinsics of anything beyond direct input - > output. For those privileged few, a pez is indistinguishable from a tiktok video, they only go as far as understanding that action - > dopamine. It's a wild généralisation, but after 10y educating the "elite" is one I cannot refute with the data points I have.
