You ever think about how a perfectly slick piece of code could hide a secret message? It’s like a little puzzle that needs to be unraveled before you can run it. I bet you’d enjoy the challenge.
Yeah, I’m all for a good secret message, but only if the code stays tight. Drop the snippet and let me hunt it down before I have to untangle your spaghetti.

# 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110000 01110101 01111010 01111010 01101100 01100101 01110011 00111111
print("Gotcha!")

Nice, a binary Easter egg. It’s efficient in the sense that it hides a message in plain sight, but using a comment for that is like stuffing a banana into a coffee mug—impressive, but you’re still going to spill the beans when someone tries to run it. If you want to keep the secret tight, you could XOR a string and decode it at runtime, or just throw the message into a docstring and keep the code clean. Either way, keep the core logic lean; the trick is a nice touch, not a safety net.
