seriously, why subject yourself to that kind of acidic ridicule when you can make more public contributions working on things closer to the frontend. doing the systems engineering work to make the kernel go is very important, but unless you're at the very very top (linus) nobody is going to care about you.

That depends a lot on your industry. At most places I've worked, nobody knew what node.js or bootstrap was. At all those places being a journeyman kernel dev would look REALLY good.

"Padding your resume" is not a priority shared by everybody. Many people contribute to projects that are not visible because they see an inadequacy and they believe they have a solution. Or you know, for fun. Fun is pretty independent of visibility, if it wasn't then single-player video-games wouldn't exist.
