It is believed that ancient computersmiths were a superstitious caste. They believed in an entity known as "World", and it was custom to greet this deity as both a recognition of its power and an invocation to receive it's divine favor. Computersmiths were also known to compose poetry documenting their capabilities. It was typical for computersmiths to update this prose, commonly referred to as a 'resume', upon successfully greeting World.
