Anyone here put Easter eggs in their code, and care to share examples?

I made a custom script to rotate a log file once a day in my program. So at the bottom of the roll I added a nice little print. See attached.

Yeah, I do. There's a Console Message greeting the viewer in all my websites :D

there is a link to me doing kickflips in the hungarian telekom server code

@PrivateGER ooo nice! I'll be sure to add that to mine 😁

@DLMousey Haha, my coworker (@jacoKotze) should implement that in his API! He's also planning on building an IoT coffee machine so it'll be relevant lol

Not mine, but i happen to find one while looking at the html of a website: streamopera.com
Visit it on a desktop pc/mac/whatever, press on the keyboard arepomaerts (streamopera backwards) and look what happens to the website logo...

@masterdoctor does she see your messages?

I plan on it

I'm not allowed to at work :C

One of my guys told me about something he accidentally posted on his company profile that was “permenantly there”...

It was asking for a bigger star, because profiles get little bronze, silver and gold stars based on how much detail is filled in.

In the mobile version I’ll be leaving him an Easter egg that gives him a massive fucking star for the fun of it.

I leave ratty comments around and when I’m bored I leave a rng to roll and decide whether or not to make the logo wiggle (css animation).

Stuff like that is great fun because the users get a little “did... did that just wiggle”. But they can never prove it did, usually random and so spread out that they won’t see it twice themselves.

I made a heart logo beat when someone clicked it because fuck it, what you clicking the heart logo for? It does nothing.

Css anims, a js math.random and timeout are always useful tools for Easter eggs.

I get bored, decide I’m throwing something in and it goes in there.

Oh shit, and if a particular user base have been really shitty I make their input field miss a character every now and then for a week or so.

Like destructive ux.

I hear "this is the man's world" song after reading this log

@jamescodesthing dude, that's awesome!

@endor which one?

My advice is if you want cool Easter eggs, css makes that easily configurable 😊m

Code reviews aren’t rigorous where I work... or, uh... existent.

@jamescodesthing I really like the logo wiggle in particular, but I like all the others too!

@endor

Spot on man 😊 my favourite too because it was subtle. You’d hear the odd rumour about it now and then.

Not sure if you could count this..

I have a Patreon bonus called "Immortal In Code", where Patron's donate over a certain amount, and they get to permanently put a message in the source.

I also have put messages for people who have helped me out greatly.

@Cyanite That's a pretty cool bonus!
