Having your name as a Linux contributor is the highest level of accolade I can think of when it comes to being a programmer.

Even if it's small it demonstrates a level of commitment to working with a human system of senior engineers and ambition for software to become better just because. Always good on a resume.

I've never done either, so I'm not bragging or anything
