Having worked with Will for quite a few years, he has a great ability to create some impressive projects like this. Even his commit graph on his GitHub (https://github.com/will https://github.com/will) has been consistent for I think 10 years now?
- andjd 5y agoIt's pretty easy to spoof the commit graph on Github like this, since Github bases it on user-provided timestamps and does not question them.
- lapetitejort 5y agoWill has a repository just for that: https://github.com/will/githubprofilecheat https://github.com/will/githubprofilecheat
- sundvor 5y agoIt's covered with commits well into the future :) Love it.
- gruez 5y ago>Even his commit graph on his GitHub (https://github.com/will https://github.com/will) has been consistent for I think 10 years now? umm... https://github.com/will/githubprofilecheat https://github.com/will/githubprofilecheat
- craigkerstiens 5y agoSo it has been 10 years :)
- Glide 5y agoIt even spells out his first name....
- Kiro 5y agoI thought that was the whole topic of this conversation.
- teruakohatu 5y agoHe has pushed 21,383 commits to that repo to keep his commit graph looking that good. Note the few days he had to push commits when they were zero commit days.
- skylanh 5y agoOne day Will will while away Will's last wonton day, and a scheduled task somewhere will continue this repo.
- lapetitejort 5y agoVery clever of him to have Friday align with the horizontal strokes of W, I, and L. Ready Only Friday manifested.
- shoo 5y agoconsider paying a visit to Will's homepage: http://bitfission.com/ http://bitfission.com/ Even though the site is under construction, it is still very nice, with some enjoyable tunes.
- willlll 5y agoThank you. please don’t try and right click to steal the source though
- tentacleuno 5y agoIt needs one of those things that alerts anyone who tries to right click :) An even better one would be to totally preventDefault oncontextmenu. That'll stop them!
- makeworld 5y ago> It needs one of those things that alerts anyone who tries to right click :) Did you visit the site?
- tentacleuno 5y agoI did.
- lloydgrossman 5y agoMade on mac and doom music. You're an incredible human
- mattgreenrocks 5y agoYou are an incredible webmaster!
- mcbishop 5y agoI had a good laugh there, thanks.

- sam0x17 5y agoWill is a legend. He is the epitome of big dick energy on GitHub. The sheer audacity of his username being "will", his commit graph, the fact that I already knew who he was before this was posted on HN... legend...
- stavros 5y ago> big dick energy Should I keep fighting against this phrase or is it futile?
- throwaway420y 5y agoDepends in you're fighting it with big dick energy or not
- astrea 5y agoOn the note of GitHub commit history, incredibly off-topic: I hate when potential jobs ask for my github profile (sometimes as a strict requirement). All of my (4+ years) profesional work has been in private Bitbucket repos so my github is a random college project and some community project I did one weekend. Should I be feeding the "grind mentality" and contributing to open source or doing random side projects to fluff it out? Am I the odd one out?
- jypepin 5y agono you're fine without a filled github account. most engineers don't write code during their free time and, like you, work in private repos for their corporate job.
- seoulmetro 5y agoNo, you shouldn't. It's obvious that any job that "requires" this, will not be a job that you want to be in. I do all my work on private repos. My github looks bare. If they want code I'll send them code. If they want my github profile, I'll send them that and tell them all my code is private, hit me up for it/examples.

- hop34s3w 5y agoWhat is "grind mentality" in this context? Is this common in the programming world too?
- astrea 5y agoAt least from my (single data point) perspective it is. I feel the pressure to always be developing the next greatest thing in the next greatest language or framework and producing conference/journal-worthy research papers (I work in research).
