I have IT clients where I would not be surprised if a ticket like this came in. I’ve had clients halfway done reinstalling windows asking me if their work-critical OneDrive files (that we weren’t aware of) had backed up (OneDrive hadn’t run in months)

Really thought this was gonna be a vim joke
This really reminds me of The Laundry Files. It’s a novel series wherein there is a secret highly bureaucratic British occult agency whose members are largely conscripted mathematicians, computer scientists, etc. See, spellwork is really just advanced mathematical computations that ties into the fabric of reality. And when these people accidently work out some algorithm that will tear a hole into space-time or otherwise stumble upon the supernatural nature of the universe, they are forcibly hired into the The Laundry and magically bound from ever sharing this knowledge with anyone not in the know.
It is not uncommon in this universe for somone to accidently write programs that summon demons or eldritch threats to the cosmos.
