So it's Easter again, that holiday with the wildly unpredictable date. I'd like to take a minute to tell you the story of #Puppet's own beloved #EasterEgg, reserved for only the most desperate seekers of enlightenment. 🧵

Of all the things I've ever searched for, this is the one where Google's like "now just hold on a minute here"
> "For a team of 50 developers, the amount of time spent answering questions adds up to between 278-568 hours of time lost per week across the entire team."
