WordPress offered me a job
by Stii
Well, kind of. I was looking at the different header responses some sites produce when opening the favicon, and stumbled across this job invitation in the WordPress.com headers.
X-hacker: If you’re reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and apply to join the fun, mention this header.
(Thanks Matt, but for now I’m happy where I am. ;) )
I think this is a very, very clever way of getting talent to join your company. You immediately know that the people who saw this is technical. Well, at least until someone blog about it and the cat’s out the bag :P
Just remember kids! Finding headers like these is not a guarantee you’ll get the job.
Yeah Bill Gates did the same thing to me once. But it was back in the day when we were running Windows 0.09 (top secret OP(s) system never released to the public). it looked something like this: 01011110111000011100110010111111000010110101010101000001011011011010001011011011101101100001110101010101010101010001011101010101010000000111100101111.
it reads: yo, uncle spam is looking for YOU!
Ah ye, I’ve spotted that :)
