Share the canonical public link.
Hacker News users discussed Turso's bug bounty retirement on May 15, 2026, after the project ended its $1,000 data corruption rewards due to AI slop. The thread referenced similar actions by curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg in January 2026 and highlighted broader issues with automated PR floods overwhelming open-source maintainers. Participants suggested alternatives including submission fees or reputation systems to filter contributions. The conversation tied the change to Turso's approach to Rust SQLite development nearing 1.0.
