Image transcription:

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

  • Big endian (a very powerful NPC)
  • Hardware abstraction (a spell that makes all the stuff disappears)
  • Obfuscation (invisibility spell)
  • Multiplexing (ability to cast several spells as one)
  • Dangling reference (when wrong information is given by somebody)
  • Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)
  • Pure virtual method (anything somebody learned but will never use)
  • Diamond inheritance (when someone in the party dies and all of their money is spread accross the others)

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
