I remember several years ago when I still had a Reddit account I found internship opportunity advertisements in web socket payloads. I asked about that on the reddit channel on Freenode, I think, and was politely told to not mention it on r/JavaScript.

#12I haven't seen any of these yet, but ironically, working for the company is probably the last thing on my mind if I'm looking at HTTP headers from a site since I usually do that when I must use it for some reason and need to figure out why it's not working or how to more easily access it (it is often a SPA which shouldn't be, or otherwise something designed with "Chrome is the only browser you should use" mentality.)
That is probably because you are occasionally looking at the headers using browser developer tools, but it’s a whole different experience when you are running something like Snort or Wireshark.
Personally, I prefer MITMProxy the most, because of bonus effect; if not lazy then you can automate web life.

#19Another good one is when teams print console messages in the browser. Poke around on a few systems and youll see hiring messages there too.
https://linear.app/ even puts a link to the changelog in there, they know our type.
Re: Next dream job can be in an HTTP header
#20It's pretty clever advertising really. I don't imagine that having noticed an HTTP header would really give an applicant much of a boost in the interview process, but to some it probably feels like finding a ticket to Willy Wonka's factory and may motivate them to apply in the first place.
