Really? You have a 3D printer? I'm just starting mine. Where did you download the turkey?

Do you ever included easter eggs in your application? Did the customers found it? How they acted on?
[We have a 'David Akouka fatal error', that pops on network errors when the application can not connect home server. It named after or beloved sa...]
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Not at work, but sometimes in my own stuff.
Look at the ships in the foreground at 00:18 in this video[^]. I saw this in some TV show[^] (look at 00:24) around 1978 when I still was figuring out how to put some pixels onto the screen and only dreamed of 3D graphics.

No. Never.
I personally think that while they may be fun to write, Easter Eggs are unprofessional. As far as your employer is concerned, programming wastes time that could be applied more productively. As far as the client is concerned, they are just another possible failure point. (How many programmers ensure that their Easter Eggs have no security issues, etc.?)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That depends. Not if you happen to be a game developer.

Usually the client's own ideas are far worse, especially when they have no foundation in reality at all.

If Easter Eggs are expected, are they really Easter Eggs?

Tell me about it. Some of the things I've been asked for by Marketing...   :shudder:

Way too many people made money off that one, a hell of a lot of it dishonestly too.

Sure I do... And yes, they are found regularly.
Oh wait... you are talking about actual deliberate Easter eggs, not bugs... never mind.

We had one, many, many years ago in a VDT (a terminal, connected to a mainframe instead of a stand alone computer). It was a Space Invaders clone called "Police Raiders" and featured British Police coming down the screen, and a programmer with his feet up on the desk moving at the bottom. Every now and then a police car would move across the top.
I should say I didn't write it, wasn't responsible for it, not my fault at all. It was the London Office developers that put that in, not the Hampshire (Head Office) branch.
Did they find it? Yes.
And asked for it to be easier to get to...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
