Locked WEB DEVELOPERS HUMOR. POPULAR EASTER EGGS

[avolfer]

Easter eggs - what is it? Translating literally, it means "Easter eggs" - it's about the surprises left behind, hidden by programmers in their productions, constituting all kinds of references.

Zerg Rush

Here is a reference from Google programmers to the cult game Starcraft! Zerg rush is a tactic of attacking the enemy very early (leading the Zerg race): having only four drones, we build a building called "Spawning pool" and attack the rival's base with zerglings. This is of course all-in, because if we fail, we have no economy at all and we lose. In the browser, we will fight with the letters "O", which eat our search results :) Attack them by clicking on them - see how many letters you can kill! In addition, the program measures APM (actions per minute - i.e. how many times per minute you take action). Korean players average ~ 400 APM in Starcraft, and the record result is ~ 800 :) When we lose, the letters form the inscription GG (good game, in online games it means giving up and thanking for the game). To see this effect, just type "zerg rush" into Google.
