While I do not necessarily disagree with the author, I really dislike the term magic. It's not magic, it's added abstraction layers. Usually you can peel those back and look underneath. We've been adding abstraction layers since the beginning of computing. It's not magic though, it's neither sorcery nor trickery. You may decide it's not something you want or need, but don't then dress it up in this way to appeal to a certain audience who dislike all "magic", it is unhelpful to the argument.
