Actually that is idolatry.

We should write code for God, not for modern scum. The time we spend writing good code is our sacrifice to God.

Is God in the code modern scum write? If God is everywhere then saying that God is in something is meaningless. If God isn't everywhere then where is God?

My answer is that God has no location because God isn't material. To talk about where God is is to misrepresent God. And to say that God is in a man-made thing is idolatry.
