I don't remember if I've ever thanked you for the dose or reality you bring to these discussions, but if not - thank you! Before I started reading your comments on bug bounty payouts I'd probably have made the typical thoughtless (in my case) remark that the bounties are tiny, without actually thinking through the realistic dollar value of bugs found.

Not to mention not really thinking through how obviously stupid it is to immediately compare a legal activity to a highly illegal one, as if they're real alternatives for most people.

A friend generated a tag cloud from all my comments here like 10 years ago and it was just the word "No" like a supermassive black hole ringed by dozens of tiny little words I was saying "no" about.

That's a great example of "doing it wrong makes it better", in this case not filtering stop words.
