To achieve a patentable technical effect you have to influence physical or chemical state of the nature beyond changing the states of a given machine.
So something that has technical effect has to be built (a not used like a computer or network) in a unique way.
Each piece of code has a technical effect on the machine that runs it, but the states are made possible by the machine, therefore it is a case of use and no new and innovative way of achieving technical effects.
