If you punch “1337” into the pinpad it redirects you to their jobs page - cute.

I came to the comments solely to see if anyone found secret codes. Edit: Found the key sequence handling code addToKeySequence(t) { if (this.keySequence.push(t), this.insertCardScreen.createShowDotsAnimation(this.keySequence.length).play(), this.keySequence.length < 4) this.insertCardScreen.createHideLogosAnimation().play(); else { switch (this.keySequence.join("")) { case "1337": this.handleWpp(); break; case "4242": this.handleInsertCard(); break; default: this.handleInvalidCode() } this.keySequence.length = 0 } }

  For those not in the know, 4242 is used as a common test card number. https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards

    I believe it comes from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

      Not entirely sure on the actual origins of this specific number but I think a crucial piece is that it passes the Luhn algorithm check [0] that is used to validate card numbers (and in generation of them to make single digit errors not result in another valid card number). 42 itself also passes the test but card numbers usually come in blocks of 4 digits so 4242 probably seems more card-like. As to where the 42 from the Guide came from, I would recommend consulting The Hunting of the Snark. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm

Also cute: "1649 roles across all locations and all teams."

  I don’t get it, what’s significant about that number?

    1.6K open positions is a pretty significant scale. At least for me as a founder for an early stage company working hard to get a few hires :)
