Fixed a bug in a code wrote 11 years ago.
It took 11 years for a user to find a bug.
The user must have a prize: a Bug Bounty.
My Boss does not like Bug Bountis

Compression kills it, but sure!

I would love some big booties

I don't understand them, they could provide a minimal bug bounty, like two hour's salary per new bug distributed between the users that provided valuable info previous users didn't, and gamify crowdsourced QA.

Bug bounties were floated at my work too. They were shot down based on the reasoning that by having a bug bounty, there is an implicit admission that (a) we have bugs and (b) we should be solving it ourselves and having to rely on external people smacks of ineptitude.

Seemed a little ivory-tower. I said it was like society not having rewards for crime tips because that was an admission that (a) crime exists and (b) if police can't solve it themselves they must be inept.

I also said we should get rid of our crash reporting (when the software crashes, user has the option of submitting an online report) because that was basically an admission that the software crashes.

Suffice to say nobody was convinced.
