My mate's app. Interesting idea. Other people as endpoints.

Just used the Bugbop skill + API to clear my triage backlog, close a pile of old bugs, and rewrite my program scope to avoid dupes. Took about an hour (and that's with a bunch of fixes thrown in).
Repo: github.com/PonnyPtyLtd/bugbo…
Bugbop now has a REST API. Pull reports into Jira, triage from a script, comment back to hunters. Plus a skill so Claude Code (or Cursor, Codex, Copilot) can do it for you, with a human in the loop. Also: crypto payouts, PDF invoices, a security page.

Our first vibecoded app bug bounty program! bugbop.com/case-studies/auto…
Is this how you would secure your vibecoded app?
Shipped one of those "Yeah, that was obvious" features 😅
Adding a real time-saver today: Bugbop’s AI triage now runs as a bug is submitted, not after. That means out-of-scope reports get flagged before they ever ping the program team.

If I look at the last 15 years of knowing people in startups, and then seeing who became successful and who didn't, I'm starting to see some general patterns
The people I know who became successful (and very rich) regularly asked for help and feedback, and then applied that feedback very quickly (think minutes) and shipped fast while maintaining their own vision
The people who didn't become successful are the ones who worked on stuff for months/years without asking for help or feedback, or when they did took weeks/months to apply it
So I think the feedback -> implement loop and speed of it is possibly very important

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue.
Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR.
We could've died three times during this journey.
This is the story I've never told anyone before:
I've been loving working with Yash this year ❤️
Different kind of case study this time - one of the most prolific bug hunters on the platform, Yash "Maverick", a 26-year-old self-taught security researcher from Dhaka, Bangladesh who transitioned into cybersecurity.

AI coding model update: I'm loving Gemini 3 ❤️
It's really feeling like a step up from the other models (my favourite before was Sonnet Opus 4.5).
Gets me 95% there and then actually takes me that last 5% (instead of just breaking things constantly).
