Life as a bug hunter

Bug hunting coders often compete to track down programming errors. Vulnerabilities or bugs are errors made when computer programmers write their code. They happen for the same reasons journalists make typographical errors in copy: weariness, inexperience and on very rare occasions malice. In the olden days of programming, code-reviews amongst departmental peers were a common way to catch these flaws before they hit production systems, much like a sub-editor on a national newspaper might proof-read a correspondent’s copy before it goes to the printers.
