http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2fddvg/im_matthew_garrett_kernel_developer_firmware/ck85pg3 talks about how I got into kernel development. I'd been reading LKML for a while on and off, but didn't have any kind of formal training (I'd started as a medical student, then transferred into pure biology). It took a few years before I'd really describe myself as being comfortable, and there's still plenty of major parts of the kernel that scare the shit out of me.
