@anliamets About the scam: a person asked me for my Bug Bounty Program because (apparently) he found a supercritical bug on the website.

Hi Alessio! First of all, congrats on the great launch! πŸ† Thanks for sharing the data, very helpful to see it like this! I am quite wondering, what the scam was :D I am definitely up for the webinar! (hopefully at some "survivable" time for EU πŸ˜†πŸ˜…)

@matej_cabadaj I'm located in Spain. So, I would keep that in mind for sure :) About the scam: a person asked me for my Bug Bounty Program because (apparently) he found a supercritical bug on the website.

@alessio_mavica I don't see the webinar info on my phone's LinkedIn app. What time are you doing it?
@jgani The poll was just to gauge the interest. Sign up here: https://www.balibam.com/keep-me-... I'll share more info soon.
Great result, congrats! Curious if you started with a large audience of follower before (e.g. on X or somewhere else) or if you managed that results without a lot of followers beforehand?
Share
@gael_grosch That's a great question, Gael! PH: around 230 followers until the launch (I joined in December) X: around 200 followers LinkedIn: around 3.5k followers
