Dev should NOT have been flamed
New contributors are actually encouraged to start with very simple fixes (like fixing typos in comments) to get used to the patch-submission process.
As a completely separate matter, any company that pressures employees to work 9/9/6 should be called out regularly and legislators should be pressured to impose sanctions. I'm not pointing a finger at Huawei, actually I don't think it's true that they make developers work 9/9/6. But there are companies that do and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.
