That’s our Lead Developer embracing his pirate alter ego — and we think this character deserves a proper name :pirate_flag:

[!todo] Your Task
Give our Lead Developer his legendary pirate name and share your idea in the comments!

Think of something clever, funny, or completely unexpected. It can be inspired by coding, Elfsight, the photo, or simply your imagination

Note: One entry per person — so choose wisely! :slightly_smiling_face:


What are the prizes? :trophy:

5 winners will get a 6-month extension on any of their active subscriptions.


Picking the winners :man_judge:

Our team will look for the names that make us laugh, surprise us, or simply fit the photo far too well.


Deadline :date:

Submit your name by August 25. We’ll announce the winners shortly after.

May the best ideas win!

Captain Hook.js
He doesn’t board ships - he boards codebases. And bugs walk the plank voluntarily.

:hugs: :wink:

14

Arrr you scurvy dogs, me thinks the Peppermint Psychopath is about to board!

15

Captain Black Bird

16

Captain Elfsparrow :pirate_flag:
No bugs can escape his ship. :anchor::bug:

17

Sir Patch-A-Lot! :pirate_flag: :parrot:

18

Captain Ironbraid Or Captain Rumrunner

19

No matter how senior the developer, one corporate trip to Thailand is all it takes to unleash his inner Captain Webhook - and give his team enough material for every birthday card until retirement. :pirate_flag:

20

Patch-Eye :pirate_flag: :wink:
Lost an eye while looking at uncommented legacy code and now wears an eyepatch.

21

Captain Aaaaaarrrrrrgus Longstocking

22

Captain 404: Dignity Not Found
or
The Dread Pirate NullPointer

23

Given he’s the Leader Developer, his rank won’t be Captain right? So that let’s make him the ship’s Surgeon, a highly prized job on the ship next to the Captain and the Navigator. Let’s call him “Silas “Sawbones” Blackthorn” - got some good 18th Century cadence there me me hearties :pirate_flag: :rofl: :parrot:

24

Buccaneer Coffer - Looks like a pirate with a treasure of ideas under the hat…

25

Captain Claw-some

26

Captain Widget Loading Error

Because if that’s what appears when the widget loads, somebody’s getting a support ticket. :joy:

27

Captain Blackbug, Lord of the Seven Stacks. Feared scourge of the production seas!

28

Captain Obelisight

29

Sharp-Eye Chomp, sees so well he wears his eyepatch to level the playing field on deck.

30

Captain Jack Stripes, for his stripey for body suit. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: (Instead of Captain Jack Sparrow). (P.S. I was going to say Captain Hook, but almost everyone is also saying either Captain Hook or Captain Black Bird.)

que se llame al pirata cocoliche

Have Pirate Cocoliche called in.
