-Porting Pidgin 3 to OpenBSD was a valuable experience. OpenBSD builds with strong compiler hardening and loads executables with strong ASLR and memory sanitization, so memory corruption bugs that usually fly on other platforms are often exposed. I found at least four of these, three of which I've already fixed upstream.
+Porting Pidgin 3 to OpenBSD was a valuable experience. OpenBSD uses compile-time hardening such as a stack protector, as well as strong ASLR and memory sanitization. This exposes memory corruption bugs that usually fly on other platforms. I found at least four of these, three of which I've already fixed.
 
 Porting to a different build environment also helps tease out bugs. I found an issue in our pkg-config logic and another in an Automake script.
