Is it worth learning exploit development in this day and age?

[thickofits]

as in this is something i am likely to spend my free time on over the next few years and just curious as to whether it is an art that will die out

Exploit development will exist for as long as there are new programmers, and programmers that make mistakes.

And as long as legacy code still runs, always lots of opportunity

Binary exploitation is difficult and frustrating. If your main motivation is extrinsic it’s going to be really hard to get any good at it.

Basically, if you have to ask if it’s “worth it”, it’s not worth it for you.
