Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities
I’ll start:
- Firewall
- Virtual Memory
- Single source of truth
- Lossless Compression (this one sounds really powerful for some reason)
Your turn
Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names

Can you tell what’s my job?
Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)
They’re also as mysterious as crop circles in programming. I know how it works but I’m not going to explain to the next poor sap. Such an antipattern. It’s in the name, don’t do this sort of shit. Stop being clever. Your code should be dumb as fuck
I target you and cast polymorphism.

Embedded systems?
We have a winner!
DevOps or Sys Admin?

Isn’t that just sex?
