I was curious about this one, so I took a look.

    Hello from Gusto! Curious about how we work?

    "Peek" through the "window" to find out.
Okay, weird, but might be cool.

    window
Right at the top there's a bunch of junk that their third party scripts add... yuck, but totally common. But there's a bunch of other stuff that they clearly add to the global namespace for normal operations too. Yuck! Is this how you work?

Anyway, not fully caffeinated yet so I just scroll randomly (a standard `window` is enormous as it is, so there are surely needles in this haystack but I'm not getting methodical just yet).

    method: "trackPii"
This appears to be a part of their internal analytics. D:

I'm gonna stop right here because I don't really want to learn more, and I'll just continue my personal preference of never visiting Gusto unless my employer requires me to.

It's less fun when devtools just shows you the code for the whole thing. Maybe there's a source map that shouldn't be there?
