Hidden in F12: Why Big Tech talks to you in the Console 🛠️

The "Security" Warning 🛡️ Facebook, PayPal, and Snapchat use huge red letters or "STOP" signs to prevent Self-XSS attacks. Ironically, it’s the best ad for hacking I’ve ever seen!
Secret Job Board 💼 Companies like Etsy, NYT, and Tumblr hide hiring ads right in the console. NYT's favorite: "All the code that's fit to window.print()!"
Pure Poetry 🏮 Baidu’s console messages read like modern AI poetry.

Built a Word Guessing Game using React.js
I developed a simple and interactive Word Guessing Game as part of practicing my React skills. The goal was to strengthen my understanding of component-based architecture and state management.
Key highlights:
• Built with React.js using functional components and hooks
• Implemented dynamic state handling for guesses and game progress

Projects like this help me improve my frontend development skills while experimenting with interactive UI patterns.
Don't forget to play the game. Cheers!🙌
