There was an easter egg in Windows 95 for clouds.mid.[1] You had to create a folder and rename it a few times, and then it would play the song[2]. Even hearing it now takes me back to a simpler time...

I miss those good times when developers were given freedom to do things like these.

They weren't given the freedom. They took the freedom.

Life-insurance mainframes never had easter-eggs, did they? This is just a measure of how seriously people rely on software.

I think nowadays an easter egg would be a hard sell on a Pull Request...

Most likely back then there were absolutely no code reviews...

You can thank the need to appeal to the 'serious business' people for that

[Eikon]

Except that it increases software complexity, possibly bugs as well as security vulnerabilities.

I definitely don’t won’t this kind of “features” in software I use.

"Creative Labs Sound Blaster"... ah the nostalgia
