1 line of code?
Amateur, I changed 1 byte of code in the Linux kernel!
It was random driver with something along the lines of “if (hardware_version > 3) fail()”.
One day we got a new shipment of hardware that wasn’t working for some reason until I upped that 3 to a 4.
That’s 3 bits, from 00110011 to 00110100. Can anyone top that?
I’ve changed 0 bits of the kernel
Someone needs to hit us with “I convinced someone to not contribute to the kernel”
Linus does this well enough on his own, he doesnt need help
Myself, because I’m stupid with coding.
If you revert a change that’s negative bits. You can do it!
Still asking myself what that four year old girl who contributed to the kernel is doing today. Hopefully she goes into IT somewhere, she’d have a killer résumé.
Sauce?
Omg thank you much lol
OMG, I’m gonna google her!
s( s) -
14 year old with 10yoe of contributing to the Linux kernel is exactly the current IT market is looking for
Actual code!? Most of us have to settle for fixing a grammatical error in the documentation
Yeah, I also do that sometimes, but it doesn’t feel as good to be honest…
🥳I am mentioned in the kernel git (even if it is only for a found bug in driver about a specific wifi dongle that had wrong MAC address)
It really feels like that ☺️💕
How I feel like after contributing
