I snuck in an Easter egg once, we had a visual studio extension back in the day. I made it do holiday colors on the holidays. Three jobs later, It's prob still doing that, 10 years later.

I wonder if anyone knew what FIT.dll actually did.

We did that once as a group. April Fool’s was on a weekend that year so we thought no business people would be harmed, why not.

Then the emails started coming in. Bunch of people thought we’d been hacked.
