New York Times hides job ad in source code

I just came across this in the source code of a New York Times article:

NYTimes.com: All the code that's fit to printf()
We're hiring: <URL snipped>

the humans.txt file served on some sites can contain similar messages:
[google.com...]
[nytimes.com...]
[gov.uk...]
