In San Francisco, some tech companies are hiring an actual witch to protect their computers from viruses.
Seems foolish. Productivity would drop to zero for months while the nerds got the Monty Python references out of their systems.

Click bait. No real companies hired witches. The main story is some scammer numerologist with “1700” clients hired some loser programmer @ $20 an hour to write some apps to help her out. The article mentions important people who work for big companies saying stuff like “meditation is good” and how Steve Jobs once talked to a Zen master or somesuch.
Well, what do you expect? Computers have daemons in them!

Hillary: What a tool.
Dean Vernon Wormer: I didn’t get that — what was that?
Hillary: Uh, I said, “What a shame that a few bad apples have to spoil a good time for everyone by breaking the rules.”
Hoover: Hillary is a legacy, Otter. Her husband was a ’93. Bill Clinton.
Flounder: He said legacies usually get asked to run automatically.
Otter: Oh, well, usually. Unless the pledge in question turns out to be a real closet-case.
Otter, Boon: Like Hillary.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties … – we did.”
