The whole "666" thing really threw me off. I thought it was some Python specific term or something at first glance. They open with a sentence that mentions "5% of the 666 Python open source GitHub repositories" as though there were only 666 total open source Python GH repos. Picking a number with other fun connotations or whatever to use as a sample is fine, but without setting that context, it was kind of distracting from their main content.
