The Heyday of Software Easter Eggs Has Passed.

Passed? Hardly. They've just moved to new audiences and platforms. Such as the Easter Egg in the Ookla/Speedtest.net smartphone apps.

Still, programs that are now mainstream, critical and trusted shouldn't have Easter Eggs in them. It would be unprofessional of me to put Easter Eggs into the telephony code I work with. Things that absolutely must work should be boring and without surprises.

Passed? Loads of sites use the Konami code to activate easter eggs.
