Some photos need a little explanation… and some are better left to your imagination 😁
The one we found in our archive was too fun not to share — and it inspired this month’s community contest.
## **How to enter?**
* * *
This photo was taken during our team retreat in Thailand:
That’s our Lead Developer embracing his pirate alter ego — and we think this character deserves a proper name 🏴☠️
> [!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! 🙂
## **What are the prizes? 🏆**
* * *
5 winners will get a **6-month extension** on any of their active subscriptions.
## **Picking the winners 👨⚖️**
* * *
Our team will look for the names that make us laugh, surprise us, or simply fit the photo far too well.
## **Deadline 📅**
* * *
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.

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. 🏴☠️

Lost an eye while looking at uncommented legacy code and now wears an eyepatch.

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 🏴☠️ 🤣 🦜

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

**Captain Jack Stripes,** for his stripey for body suit. 😄 (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.)
