       | For life, haha. Probably a few months at most.

       | 
       | Learning to code and experimenting is wayyyy beyond what topic OP
       | is doing.

       | Personally I don't really care. Rockstar has a grip on it. I'm
       | proud of this fellow for finding and exploiting holes. Yes, he
       | should have gone through proper channels. But he is also just a
       | kid and likely don't understand responsible disclosure.
       | 
       | The target person in this article should be educated and
       | administered. They clearly have a lot of potential. Limiting them
       | is not the way to go.
