There are multiple reasons why we chose the approach we did: 1.) It was easy to implement, we're just parsing using Ripper 2.) It gets us 90% of the way there

There are multiple reasons why we chose the approach we did: 1.) It was easy to implement, we're just parsing using Ripper 2.) It gets us 90% of the way there. There are some last-mile stats that would be interesting. But implementing those take a lot of effort. This is something we threw together over the weekend. 3.) We're interested to see if there are trends in gem usage amongst company types/sizes/years of experience. 4.) Asking people to give access to their git repos is asking quite a bit. We try to maintain anonymity (although we are geocoding IPs on the backend). TBH, if someone asked me for access to my company's private repo I would say 'no' Thanks for the feedback. :)
