So you think someone with Masters in Power Engineering and Digital Technology Management should contribute to the Linux kernel as a way to improve their chance for work?
Really?
Really?
The central point I was trying to make was that hard work pays off, if you are smart enough.
For example, Jeff Dean currently heads Google Brain despite having not having a PhD in machine learning (his PhD was on whole program optimization of object oriented languages). Or John Carmack starting Armadillo Aerospace would be another example.
I expect to be downvoted again, but I stand by what I said.
