'We have a tradition at PayPal of supporting hackers'
Yepp, just like you've given the deserved prize to this teen <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5779719" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5779719</a> when he found a serious bug in your site.
Looks like a fun idea to start, but it's being pitched so badly given paypal's history and the site is actually shockingly bad. The major branding is Twitter's! The links don't work! The design is horrible! It's hosted on Github!<p>This seems to be some muddle of an organization that previously organized something called Charity Hack and Paypals dev evangelists, probably why the whole message is coming across so jarringly at odds with the reality of developing with paypal.<p>At first I thought they had a cool, if out-dated, easter egg, but they seem to have lifted the code without any credit:<p>(enter the konami code or open your console and enter goApeshit(), warning, loud)<p><a href="http://battlehack.org/javascript/ie5.js" rel="nofollow">http://battlehack.org/javascript/ie5.js</a><p><a href="https://github.com/moovweb/harlem_shaker" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/moovweb/harlem_shaker</a>
The Twitter logo at the top left is very disconcerting. It looks as if the website was made by Twitter, but it only points to the BattleHack Twitter account.
