    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.

    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.
