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)

    • 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?
