As a programmer and manager of embedded software products for a living, I think that operating system programming is so much fun that it will eventually be outlawed. I've previously published two articles on OSNews, So, you want to write
an operating system and Climbing
the kernel mountain, and tried to summarize my experience in designing operating system kernels as well as technical traps that can be easily avoided.

You must be god's gift to humanity. I can't wait for you to come and show us your brand spanking kernel with great driver support, because we all know that all of the Linux kernel developers did not go to school or learn how to do a kernel properly.
I can't quite tell if you're trying to troll or not. What I was trying to say is that many people try to write a kernel and know little or nothing about systems programming in general. Is that a good thing? Will that mean they're going to have an easy ride? Of course not. Maybe if they learnt a bit more about systems programming in general, they might find kernel programming a little better. Is that such a bad thing?
I think a lot of the Linux or whatever programmers would be well versed in kernel and systems programming. Otherwise would they be able to commit bad code to the kernel?
