Unless I'm completely misunderstanding how this works, this isn't "give you some perks for doing your job." It's getting perks for doing your job, for someone who isn't paying you. And that's what the problem is.
If you want me to fix your bugs, pay me for it. Don't do this gamification nonsense.
Edit: apparently I did misunderstand how this works. It seems like the "Bugbusters" are just a company's normal developers. It still seems kinda dumb, but not as exploitative as I initially thought.
- jedberg 5y agoThey're marketing page isn't super clear, but it's adding structure for a company's existing bug bashes. You set up a bug hung for your own developers on your own code.

- slownews45 5y agoYeah, they are just trying to get devs to try their tooling. If tool was amazing, this would be great. But it's hardly the big exploitation people are describing here though it's a bit true that bug fixing is less fun for some and so is often ignored. That said, other providers of this type of tooling might take some ideas from something like this.
