Now, I'm scared. Honestly, after reading through that introduction, I'm scared to touch kernel code. Hell, I'm scared to look at it.

That's kernel code for you :-)

You can be the best programmer in the world, know assembly/C/C++ inside and out, and all that jazz, but when you hit kernel code it's like a different reality.
