In fantasy worlds with magic, magic tends to follow laws like 'energy can't be created or destroyed' and that one needs great amounts of knowledge to master it.
Now imagine if magic was discovered in the real world, it would have a rocky start with people figuring things out, it would get corporate, and knowledge would build off of knowledge to create more complex systems.
Isn't that just what electricity is? So being a programmer/electrical engineer is being a wizard.
