      I read the post as “dreadlock” like three times in a row lol. I have been employed as a developer for many years and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of “deadlock” as a named concept until now. The more you know.

        Hmmm. I think you’re thinking of a dreadnaught. A deadlock is a magic using class in popular roleplaying games whose game powers are granted by a powerfu, but often manipulative, patron.

          Not, you’re thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

            No, you’re thinking of a dead lach. A deadlock is an anti folk music pioneer—not really dead yet though he claims to be dead inside.
