A few years ago, I was debugging a problem on a Wordpress.com hosted site and found that they put a job ad in their HTTP response headers, based on the notion that anyone looking at their HTTP headers would be the sort of person they would want to hire.

Some fun things to do with sites of companies for which you would like to work:

+ Check out their source code in a web browser

+ Check out their HTTP headers

+ Check out their 404 page

+ Look for a humans.txt file

Every once in a while, a company that has an engineering team with a sense of humor will hide an Easter egg in one of these places. And sometimes, it's a job posting.

Anyone know of other somewhat common places that companies use to hide Easter eggs?

In the CEO's bedroom nightstand.

Note: this is an advanced Easter egg hunting technique.
