Not trying to discourage you but bug bounties are one of the easiest ways to get depressed . Especially when you don’t find any bug and then go on Twitter to see “yay, i was awarded XXXX bounty on hackerone “ . Some take that as a motivation but for most it’s depressing

The tone of the email reminds me a lot of Linus Torvald’s brutal code review comments in the google group back then.
