It would be one hell of a marketing genius if this wasn't actually an integration test email.
For the first time I actually read their damn email.

It would have been a brilliant marketing move to announce another season of Silicon Valley.
TJ Miller is completely out and Thomas Middleditch turned out to be not so nice. Kumail is doing Marvel shit now.
Silicon Valley isn't coming back.
I wish wish wish this was the case haha
Right? And apparently there's a tracking pixel. On the other hand, if it was intentional its hard to believe there wouldn't have been a scaling issue in production.
I wouldn't read anything into the presence of tracking pixels. They plausibly would route all outbound mail through some system which instruments it with click tracking and tracking pixels, and probably also handles rate limiting, bounced delivery, unsubscribe, etc.
At least, I'd consider doing something like that if my systems sent a lot of email and had to deal with a myriad of tracking and compliance needs.
Plus if you're going to send an "accidental" email that gets everybody talking, you would absolutely want to use something a little less dry and clinical, because that'd get a lot more coverage outside of the usual tech circles.
