+We are all used to spam emails, supposedly from Google, that say "You won" and I just need to send all my data to somewhere to receive my lottery payout.
+When I recently received an email about Google's "Open Source Peer Bonus" program, I almost discarded it as yet another version of that kind of spam.
+But it turns out sometimes these emails are real!
+Meanwhile the [official announcement](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/12/google-open-source-peer-bonus-program-announces-second-group-of-2023-winners.html) has been released which lists me as a recipient of this bonus as a thank you for my work on Rust.
+So this one time, it wasn't spam after all!
+
+Thanks a lot to Google for this program at the $250 reward; it is great to see open source work honored this way.
+I have donated the amount in full to [noyb](https://noyb.eu/en), who I'm sure will be using it [for good](https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-win-first-major-fine-eu-1-million-using-google-analytics).
