Take the job. Spend 30-60 minutes per day on marketing activities before or after work.

While companies like Uber and Airbnb cut through regulations that create artificial scarcity, they also cut through protective regulations.

Thanks for the update!

That's a big hope, considering the official response.

Did Ramses Martinez have the authority to pay people who found issues and instead sent tee shirts? Have people been paid in the past? If yes to both, the "no good deed goes unpunished" and "I'm new here so lay off" response is disingenuous. However, if there was no way Martinez could have paid bounties or no history of payouts, the grumpy response to not being showered with cash is unreasonable. (And perhaps Martinez, et al., already knew of this particular vulnerability.)

Think about MySpace and Facebook. Often the first to market doesn't dominate a few years out. Figure out the problem you are solving and do it to the best of your ability. "Appropriate" your competitors' best ideas if they fit with your solution and ignore their bells and whistles if they don't. Even if you are not successful, there is no shame in failing well. Chalk it up to education and try again.

My coworker insists the email address was never validated and no one else ever logged in from this email address. After registering, the account came up with nearly 100 following and followers, none known by my coworker. The standard new user demo never happened. My coworker then changed the user name, and user profile information as a precaution. The actual owner of the account would likely now be able to login or re-register with their user name, but their followers would be gone.

Thank you.
