Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.
I know you're joking, but I looked it up :) 'Ovaltine was developed in Bern, Switzerland, where it is known by its original name, Ovomaltine (from ovum, Latin for "egg", and malt, which were originally its key ingredients).' [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovaltine

Google Foobar does it right and lets you skip to actually be considered, which is nice.
Has Google even bothered with Foobar for like past 2-3 years? It appears so frequently on non-incognito searches that surely every developer must have seen it by now.

They don't have any at the moment but it was always fun to solve.
Just telling people to apply to domain.com/jobs is pretty lame. So, basically the same door that anyone else goes through when they click the "Careers" link in your site's footer? Reminds me of when I solved one of the CTF challenges for a website only for my reward to be "We're hiring! Apply at jobs.example.com!" Real "be sure to drink your Ovaltine" moment.
A perfect "be sure to drink your Ovaltine" moment! If anyone is unfamiliar, it refers to the movie "A Christmas Story". The moment here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdA__2tKoIU I first saw that movie a only a couple years ago and quickly realized how many pop culture references come from it.

I stumbled across "we hire" messages across Paypal, Techcrunch, and dozen of other websites, even no-name startups. You can find them in headers, CSS, HTML, JS and all over different places.

This cryptic message thing will only get you "oh cool" reply from recruiters…
> If you are a good engineer you'll be hired no matter of these messages That's a bit idealistic. When one job has 100 applicants, the unfortunate reality is not all 100 resumes will get read. If you've already got a couple years to a decade of experience under your belt, your resume will naturally surface to the top of the pile, but if you're just starting out, it can be impossible. Recruiters may only say "oh cool"…
If you get asked a coding problem in an interview and don't go so well, it doesn't matter if you would have had a strong answer for the 10 alternative interview problems that weren't asked.
