I don't know. I did the space shooter tutorial on unity last week and I'm finding it a doddle to make my first 2D game... I'm super impressed, having never done game dev before.

If the full amount is <=1000 it's irrelevant what you're actually awarded for a bug as serious as this.

by estefan 10y ago
I think paying only $1000 for a potentially company-imploding bug like that is incredibly short sighted. It's far too low to motivate a lot of people to look for bugs, and to me suggests they're not serious about protecting their

I've just been doing 3 d/w for the last 3 months. Negotiated it on a contract. I did it initially to decide whether to start a startup, but at the same I sorted out loads of admin, bought a guitar, and learnt loads of other stuff.

I completely agree. I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday on this exact point.

Not really. It's hard to see what industries twitter, tinder, instagram, etc. have been upending.

For the last few years most programmers I know have thought everything has a technical (app-based) solution. But those easy wins are gone now. This is the next trend in tech - upending existing industries by using tech to drive efficiencies

Yeah absolutely, but the doco argues they aren't doing it to create some parallel of Catholicism, but rather as a way to appease the extremists who could have toppled them from power 50 years ago. The trouble is, those schools have now

...and Cameron announces his resignation... nearly... will he...? and... yes. His position was untenable. It goes from bad to worse. Leaving the EU and now we'll get Boris Johnson as well.

Whereas the old remember the "good old years before all those funny Polish shops started opening". Well at least it'll hit their pensions. Oh, wait, no it won't because most of them will have final salary pensions scheme
