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.

Years ago some guy made a pokemon mod called Uncensored Edition with 18+ jokes that eventually was discontinued / taken down, but if you look at the credits I'm like the 3rd person listed. Yep, that's me alright. You're probably wondering how I got here.
