- aniviacat 2y agoI don't know what your point is. Yes, Google is a corporation and yes, Google tries to build a product people want to use. (Building things that people like is a good thing.)
- varelaz 2y agoI don't say it's bad. It's commercialized experiense and it's cool if you love it. I just wouldn't treat it the same as devs fun of hiding things for valuable user who loves their product and I'm talking from dev prospective, not user.
- ARandomerDude 2y agoI'm sure some companies use easter eggs as marketing/recruiting tools. That said, I've put a small number of user-facing easter eggs in publicly-traded MegaCorp code before. In every case, it was an inside joke among devs that the higher-ups never knew about it. The C-Suite is uptight and we definitely would have been reprimanded if they were aware.
