Did they finally oust Linus and replace him with somepony who is actually friendly to maintainers? Or is she working on a move fast and break things fork where breaking userland when fixing bugs is acceptable?

Kernel programming is not what I do. It’s Xcode programming.

You amuse me by having the audacity to say normal programming (“software developing”) is worse.

Kernel programming is so much fun, especially when:

If you monkeypatch kernel code, CPU codepage caching fun make it so that it never runs.
If you leak memory, you die.
If you forget to release your ioctl, you die.
You get about 16kB of stack to play with. If you overflow that, the machine is fucked.
Kernel debugging is ridiculous. The easiest way to do it is to log to the kmsg via kprintf which isn’t persistent, so you can’t look back after a panic.
Writing device drivers will essentially require you to be able to read and understand assembly.

Software developing is worse. I am testing iOS 9 beta 4 on an iPod. Let’s just say… It’s a pain in the butt.
