The year is 2024.
It's weird out there for developers. Some of barely scrape by, others live in prosperity.

I myself found a discord server, where I was given 10 grand to flame Kim Jong Un. The contract ended shortly after for I cannot program.

Now I am sitting here in the dim light of my PC, scouring the web for another grand opportunity of flaming some asshole for money.

The funny bit is where they thought it was about Trump.

And sorry to piss in anyone's cornflakes, but Discord is blocked in North Korea. So anyone circumventing that (with VPN for example) should have no issue saying the magic phrase.

Isn't the problem state actors doing this to steal data from companies? I bet they're allowed to use discord or whatever they need.

Yeah. They were stating if it’s not a government official for NK then the person would easily repeat rhe comment cause they know they’d not be being watched by NK.

Without getting as far as stealing data, it could actually just be about getting the government money from the outside to fund the state's programs. https://apnews.com/article/north-korea-weapons-program-it-workers-f3df7c120522b0581db5c0b9682ebc9b

Oh, so if I pretend to be n-korean and get to that point in an interview, it's free money!! 10k is more than I make in a year

How many of these companies exist? I'm smelling a business opportunity.

I could feel that operative’s handler inching closer as the conversation progressed.
