Used in a sentence: "My notes in my phone where I keep track of ideas on things about which I might post simply said 'Bug Bounty AF'."
Mind you, it took me a bit of time to figure out that I wasn't using AF as the kids do nowadays (for young 'uns, it's a qualifier to signify an extreme state of the thing it follows: i.e. hungry af, broke af, high af -- which are the first three things that popped into my mind when I thought of today's young 'uns ... and which is proof positive that I am officially old af). And then it took me another bit of time to not get confused in thinking that the "bug bounty" was a government effort to control the Zika virus in soFlo (similar to the established python bounty program where people get paid by the government to rid the 'glades of the non-native snake that is slowly destroying that unique eco-system)
Instead, that particular capitalized AF stood for Air Force ... and then a quick google search reminded me that I had jotted down a note about the thing known as a Bug Bounty because the Air Force had announced it's biggest Bug Bounty ever. Then, being the age that I am, I had to do a little more research to learn that Bug Bounties are a thing where "white-hat" hacktivists purposefully attack software programs to find bugs, for which they are a paid a handsome sum (or pretty sum if said hacktivist is female, I presume).
We've come such a long long way from the days of making the computer scroll your name across the screen in an infinite loop -- which may or may not have been the highlight of my early high school computing classes in the late 80's.
