I read a litrpg book that the main character got a power that was basically programming. He could modify objects to do certain things based on triggers.

It was quite entertaining. But most of what he did was either off-the-cuff, or the book hid the hours and hours of testing and research so that it wouldn't bore the reader.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the name of the book in my reading history.

Now that you mention it I seem to remember a book where a programmer beams himself into a world where he can then live like a wizard because he can affect it with his programming. Also can't remember the title, but it was a fun read.

I found it!

Apocalypse: Generic System (Systems of the Apocalypse Book 1)

I haven't read the sequel yet, though.
