Pick *one* thing. There's quite obviously a wide gap between your level of understanding of the code, and what's needed to actually be productive. Remember that most of those sections have already been worked on for *years* by dozens of very clever people who are *paid* to do that. There's a big difference between knowing how to change the spark plugs on a VW Beetle, and being able to walk into a Formula One pit and make tuning suggestions that actually help the performance. And yes, there's *that* big a gap between the usual beginner programmer and some parts of the kernel. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say that there are more people in this world that really understand Formula One engines than people who really understand the Linux scheduler. :) > I think my issue with getting baned was mostly not listening and > needing to learn git.
