The Three Dragons Of SQL Pronunciation

The Three Dragons Of SQL Pronunciation
The eternal database holy war visualized as three dragons. "SQL" (pronounced like "sequel") is the menacing one, "SEQUEL" (the actual word) is the terrifying one, and "SQUEAL" (like a pig sound) is the derpy one with its tongue out. After 15 years in the industry, I've stopped correcting people. Say it however you want - the database will still ignore your perfectly crafted query and throw a syntax error anyway.

I Have A Type And Steam Knows

I Have A Type And Steam Knows
Oh look, it's the classic Steam tag repetition bug showing its true colors! When your game preferences are so strong that the recommendation algorithm just gives up and starts stuttering. This poor soul's Steam tags are basically just "Hunting" and "Dragons" on repeat—like when you're debugging and your code keeps echoing the same value because you forgot to increment your counter in that for loop. The algorithm's basically trapped in an infinite loop of while(userLikes === "Hunting" || userLikes === "Dragons") { recommendMore(); } without any exit condition!

The Three-Headed Dragon Of Nothingness
The Python developer's existential crisis in one image. Three heads of the same dragon representing different ways to express nothingness in Python: the menacing "NIL" (which doesn't exist in Python but haunts refugees from Ruby/Lisp), the intimidating "NULL" (a SQL/C++ concept that Python smugly rejects), and the derpy "None" (Python's actual singleton object for representing absence of value). Every Python newbie eventually learns that only the silly-looking one works, while the other two cause NameErrors that make you question your life choices at 2AM.
