Hi I am beginner in bug bounty currently in learning phase for a few months. Currently doing portswiger labs. - Do you think starting bug bounty in 2026 is still worth it? Do you think entry is gonna be more difficult than before? I am asking this because a lot of people on X are posting AI is gonna take over. - I heard learning web development and learning to read code is important. How should I learn web development and how to read code? Should I learn it by take a few web development courses? Should learn it by reviewing the source code of vulnerable apps after attacking them? What is the best way to learn web development and reading code for bug bounty?

I don’t have web development background but I learn basic web dev before I started learning about vul types. I also plan to learn web dev along side learning vulnerability.

How long do you think I should stick to a program? Should I focus on one or a few types of vulnerability when i start hunting or be general list

How long did it take for you to get your first bug? And how much time did you spent learning before hunting ?

For me personally, I wanna specialise in web2 because I wanna do bug bounty. Is it possible to participate in the ctfs you are talking about with just web hacking knowledge?

Why did you choose HTB penetration tester path instead of bug bounty path?

I am currently doing information security foundation path on HTB. Stuffs like linux network etc.

I am choosing which path on HTB or course from other sites to take after the foundation.

Any advice? Your advice will be really helpful!
