I feel like, now that the magic trick has been explained, my world is slightly less full of wonder and excitement. Thanks, I think.

- JoeAltmaier 16y agoThe first time I finished reading through the complete source of an operating system, I felt the same way: "Wait, where was the magic? Did I miss it?"

- billybob 16y agoFunny, whenever I first understand something mysterious like that, I feel more hopeful and confident. If it's magic, how can I trust it? What do I do if it doesn't behave as expected? If I understand it, I can face it. I can figure out problems. I can find creative approaches. It isn't magic, so I don't have to be afraid. I think that's a good feeling.
