Not a bug but a feature! The Out-of-Memory killer is an important Linux mechanism.

This is the first post in a series of candid bug hunt posts where I will describe an interesting bug I ran into, and how I eventually fixed it. As this is the first of these posts, I will explain the general structure that I will try to follow in future posts.

My journey with MLH started long before I joined the fellowship. It began last summer when I joined the organizing team for SwampHacks, one of my university’s MLH-sponsored hackathon, and continued in the Fall semester as I participated in a few Global Hack Weeks. I strongly believe that the biggest factor that led to my acceptance in the fellowship was not my coding ability but my demonstrated passion for MLH as an organization.
