    I remember finding a bug in the Linux kernel re AMD processors a very, very long time ago. I documented and reported it and later saw the report in a changelog or something. Still riding high off that 25 years later (I think, it’s been a while).

      You should, sounds like you definitely contributed more to the benefit of human society than I ever have!

      Reminds me of the small feature I did for PHP 8.1. Felt really good to see a whole article about that in a more or less official preview post.

      Now I wonder what the girl is doing who was the youngest Linux kernel contributor because she saw “a sad little s” not being underlined in the Readme.
