Would You Add Easter Eggs To Software Produced At Work?

Posted by Soulskill on from the throw-in-a-flight-sim dept.

Mr. Leinad writes "Do you add Easter Eggs to the software that is produced at the office? I mean, if you have complete control over the final product, do you spice it up with that little personal touch, which, as unlikely as it is that anyone will see, carries with it an 'I was here' signature? I've just finished the development of a large software product, and I have a couple of days left to try to add my own personal Easter Egg code, but given that the software is quite professional, I don't know if I should. What do you think? Should we developers sign our creations?"

    The mere fact that you are asking this question tells me you lack any kind of professional integrity.

      The mere fact you answer a question like this tells me that you are a jackass.

    I used to fill easter eggs with shit and hide them on Easter for the children. Does that count? It wasn't real shit, but it did come out of my ass. And by "ass", I mean burro.

    That's just a hidden copyright message. How the hell is that an Easter Egg? Why are there so many clueless newbies around?!

    No.

    You do, on the other hand, sound like a bigot. Is that about right?
