Are you a developer?

Any good developer should recognize that encoding. :-)

Yeah I'm a developer. I don't want to apply to the, but I'm really curious. Or rather, pretty angry at my self that I don't get it haha. Still can't figure it out :( It's not UTF-8, ASCII nor md5/SHA1 or any hex. Am I missing something?
