Goyal served as an Outreachy intern earlier this year, focused on the Linux kernel, where she worked on securing the kernel from surface attacks by making the kernel structures safer. Since her internship, Goyal has continued this work with the support of The Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative. "Having contributed to the kernel for a year now, I have developed a keen interest in learning the internals of the kernel," Goyal explained in her scholarship application. "This training will definitely help me to develop my skills so that I can contribute to the kernel community more effectively." Her goal is to become a full-time kernel engineer after completing this current project. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=grep&q=bhumika "I really add 'const' 340 times to the kernel over a period of a year" > Linux Kernel Guru scholarships from The Linux Foundation Age | Commit message (Expand) | Author 4 days | ARM: OMAP2+: CM: make cm_cl_data structures as const | Bhumika Goyal 4 days | ARM: OMAP2+: CM: make some pointers and function arguments as const | Bhumika Goyal 11 days | Merge tag 'linux-can-next-for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/... | David S.

A forum screenshot shows a profile about Linux kernel contributor Bhumika Goyal, alongside a long list of her commits repeatedly changing code structures and arguments to `const`. The joke is that her impressive year of kernel work is humorously reduced to adding “const” hundreds of times. It is shared as a programming reaction to obsessive refactoring, pedantic code cleanup, or doing one repetitive task exceptionally often.
