He/Him/His
I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.
Not much of an easter egg, but all of my projects write my contact info to the console (with a different email address than my usual one, so I know where the person contacting me came from).
Also, back when I was job hunting I implemented a little thing to my portfolio site where I can add a parameter to the URL which would trigger a pop-up with the name of the company (or person) I was applying at with a fun message. You can check that out here
Side point: I don't get the websites who write a message to the effect of "hey, if you found this message you should come work for us, visit us at company.com/generic-jobs-page". If your point is to make me feel like some kind of badass for finding the message the least you could do is make me feel like I made it into some secret club by sending me to some specialized career page...

I agree with your side point, though it never seemed that impressive to me for them to want to hire me after only hitting f12.
