Re:Magic is often used to describe confusing code by alex- on Friday March 25, 2016 @07:14PM (#11363463)
I sometime use the term magic to highlight code that is out of the current context/scope.

That ICA, FFT or MLP module is magic...

The module maybe complex but it is not magic. However it is something that I probably don't _need_ to understand to solve the problem I am currently working on.

Now I think about it, normally only very reliable code is called magic - the stuff that always goes wrong has some other choice descriptors.
