For those who are wondering the rewards aren’t worth it… this is not Amazon asking for oss contribution to their AWS source code. This is for private companies to offer bug fest to their own employees / target audience.

> customers can set up private AWS BugBust virtual events

Why should the jacket be sponsored by Amazon? I don’t get it.

Why would they need AWS to do so? Engineers in companies don't know every line of code in their product - many of them are siloed in their own teams.

A team can easily just dedicate an hour or two a week and do their own bug bash, right?

This pairs it with the AWS bug finding AI tools to automate the bug bash overhead. I.E. Finding bugs, assigning point values, keeping track of point values, etc.

But thus way the labor is free™.
