It’s not for the cash — I’m not even concerned that I’ll get paid at all. I more want it because endlessly building things on your own isn’t as challenging or as much fun as being with a team for a little while. I’d also like to meet some more new people along the way.

On security: I’ve emailed several companies about security bugs on their websites, but I hadn’t considered being paid for it. I’ll check that out!

Thanks.




Email me (teenageSec@mailinator.com) sometime if you want to chat about web security stuff. I'm 17 years old and I tend to spend my free time working on bug bounties etc. I can certainly give you some pointers on this sort of thing.


If you're interested in working on larger projects, you should look into contributing to open source projects.
