Warpspeed Bounties
Head-to-head developer bounties, shipped under pressure.
Warpspeed is a platform where mobile and web developers compete head-to-head on spec'd bounties. Whoever ships clean code that passes the QA checklist first wins the payout. Everyone else goes home with nothing.
I've won $1,320 across three bounties in this format: React Native calendar permissions ($330), an AI chat web portal ($330), and note-level biometric security ($660).
The format punishes every inefficiency. No scope negotiation, no partial credit, no second chances if the QA checklist fails. The spec is the spec.
Typical window from bounty drop to winning PR: 2 to 6 hours. Other developers are racing you in parallel.
I built a repeatable shipping workflow around Claude Code. For every bounty:
1. Drop the bounty spec into BOUNTY_SPEC.md in the project root.
2. Drop the QA checklist into QA_CHECKLIST.md.
3. Point Claude Code at both files with instructions to work only against the spec, not add scope.
4. Verify locally against the checklist before opening the PR.
The discipline is in not touching anything outside the spec. Bounties reward exact delivery. Over-engineering loses.

Three wins, three payouts, zero QA failures on first submission. Established the workflow as a reliable cash-generation mechanism alongside longer-term client builds.
