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?
