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”

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.
14 year old with 10yoe of contributing to the Linux kernel is exactly the current IT market is looking for
Sauce?
OMG, I’m gonna google her!
I was thinking about trying to contribute, but the code I was fixing is filled with so many workarounds that I’m terrified of breaking one.
“What if I just change this a bit…”
segmentation fault
“Nope, nope, let’s put that mystery code back…”
