heavy wizardry: n. Code or designs that trade on a particularly intimate knowledge or
experience of a particular operating system or language or complex
application interface. Distinguished from
deep magic, which trades more on arcane
theoretical knowledge. Writing device drivers is
heavy wizardry; so is interfacing to X (sense 2)
without a toolkit. Esp.: found in source-code comments of the form
“Heavy wizardry begins here”. Compare
voodoo programming.
