A missing link between literal meaning of a term, and its broader traditions of uses, misuses, and transformations. The difference between talking and talking within a context.
To re-enchant code then means not only to _find & replace_ terms throughout the documentation, but to re-trace genealogies, to intercept and re-orient narrations, and offer a redemption arc to those projects that were abandoned. To re-enchant code means to add new systems of meanings around it.
A good example is the work of documentation around the Uxn ecosystem, a personal computing stack initiated by the 100 Rabbits collective. To meet their needs for a portable and lightweight infrastructure and reduce the energy consumption of their digital tools (they live on a wind & solar powered sailboat), while keep continuing developing games and software ...
