It seems that the White House has a few tricks up its sleeve — or rather, on its website. On Twitter, web users have been discussing a secret message hidden in the source code of the official White House web page. Joe Biden’s administration appears to have hidden a secret message aimed at curious coders, seemingly reaching out to potential new recruits.
“If you’re reading this, we need your help building back better,” reads the secret message hidden in the source code of the official , discovered by a host of Twitter users.
The secret phrase isn’t visible directly on the White House website, but can be seen by anyone who looks at the source code of the page. To do that, simply open the White House website, right-click on the homepage, then select “View page source” to show the page’s HTML source code. The secret sentence is visible on the ninth line and is written in green — a good way of attracting the attention of experienced or budding coders who might want to work for the U.S. government.
The did a fantastic job with the updates to the website. Love dark mode and the toggle to make the font size larger. Plus, the call to action in the HTML source code fills my heart with joy.
