I think a computer programmer variant of a huckster would be a swell idea.
"Bugs" in the program become deadly...

It kind of reminds me of my roommate when he was in his fourth year of his
CS major.  He got rather inebriated one night, and the next morning went to
drive his girlfriend home.  He was, unfortunately, still drunk, so instead
of speaking English to her he kept defining her in C++ terms to get her home.

Imagine if that suddenly worked - if the manitou went ahead and "compiled"
the program for him.  And imagine what would've happened to her if he had a
bug in the program...
