Bug bounty programs
I’ve always had a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of how Open-Source software works. A group of engineers come together to produce beautifully-engineered software for the community, usually for free. It is truly one of the most wonderful aspects of the software engineering world, showing how collaboration allows us to unlock a great deal of potential.
OS software is not the only example of how transparent collaboration results in ecosystem-wide improvements, bug bounty programs (BBP) are another exceptional product of our industry.
In the next lesson, we’ll learn what is in a program.
