Useful to keep a child distracted for a few minutes.

I do find the layer over the page being set so the cat now paws at what you click on and you have to click the X to close it somewhat passing the point of being amusing to being annoying. But I guess that's the part that allows you to really keep the child distracted.

on edit: what does no one else have this experience, why the multiple downvotes? or do you have the overlay, and you think it is so wonderful one should be overjoyed and not annoyed?

So.. about that hiring freeze/slowed revenue growth/etc. Glad to see they still have bandwidth for this kind of stuff (not sarcasm)

The people getting fired are the ones who stopped engineers from doing this sort of thing. I remember in university you'd have job adds for google inside under the hood implementation details where only students/hackers would look. Those disappeared as quickly as pointy haired bosses showed up there.

I wonder if those type of ads attracts certain type of engineers, which were desirable during the rapid growth period of the company, only to become liabilities later on when they failed to adapt with the business's everchanging objectives and KPIs.

Disclaimer: Not an engineer, but a people manager.

I don't know if that will be true, unfortunately.

I tried "dog" but seems there's no easter egg for it.. do you know of any other good ones?

Sadly a lot of these no longer seem to work.

They must have skipped the integration tests.
