The Open Source Report Card: Dynamic progress reports for Github developers
- aaronsnoswell 13y ago404 :(
- namuol 13y agoSweet, I'm an accidental C++ expert!
- aaronsnoswell 13y agoThis is awesome. Only downside - it doesn't consider private repos (which would substantially change my report card).
- aaronsnoswell 13y agoGreat work guys :P
- cldwalker 13y agoThanks for writing this! I found the percentile of active users in X language helpful. Also liked the related users bit - powered by FLANN
- k-mcgrady 13y agoThis seems to be completely wrong for me. It describes me as a "high caliber Javascripter" when my only projects are in Objective-c. I'm guessing it's picking up JS from the GitHub pages I have setup for one of my projects.
- warmwaffles 13y agoI was more interested in the graphs. Surprisingly I commit more on fridays.
- wheaties 13y agoDitto. My only two open projects are in Scala yet I'm an "expert JS" because my own soon to be created blog/website has some js libraries in them.
- emilis_info 13y agoMe too. The page describes me as a CoffeeScript expert. I haven't written a single line of CoffeeScript and don't intend to in the future. Actually you would get a much better overview of what I do by just looking through my repository list.
- krapp 13y agoThe adjective is random, it listed me as a javascript expert[1] too, and I do have a couple of js projects, but the bulk of it is php. The only project that's even gotten contributed to is in php. And I don't know where it's getting that I do shell scripting.... But it does make me look pretty good so I might just send it to potential employers >_> [1] ha ha.
- nirajd 13y agoIncorrect assumptions for my github..says I'm a "top-notch perl expert" yet I have 0 perl projects to my name..
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- hgezim 13y agoIt seems to work for me. After-all, I am a JavaScript expert :) Nice work. I like the simple design.
- jliechti1 13y agoI guess it's time for Linus Torvalds to do some web programming. (joke) His report shows: "Linus seems to speak only one programming language: C. Maybe it's about time to branch out a bit."
- talloaktrees 13y agoI want to know who he is calling a "mick"?
- mbreese 13y agoIs this still working for anyone? I keep getting: The requested URL was not found on the server.
- wtracy 13y agoIt worked for a little bit, but now I keep getting 404s when I submit a name. Also, for my handle it keeps saying that there's not enough information to generate a report card. I would be a neat motivator to see what I need to improve to get a report. :-)

- noldornoldor 13y agoSo far fun, but connect it with stackoverflow, linkedin and public google search and you have pretty scary tool :)
- talloaktrees 13y agoInstead of saying someone is an "expert" or what have you, why not just say "x works very actively with Python" or "x dabbles in Javascript"
- asarazan 13y agoWorked quite well for me, then started 404'ing. Load issues I presume. Either way bravo, great idea.
- BHSPitMonkey 13y agoI, for one, take exception to being called an "expert" in any language. That's a serious accusation for some naive software to be making!
- aeontech 13y agoAgreed, it'd be a nice bit of ego-stroking if it wasn't so transparent :) I would not call myself an expert, perhaps the author might want to change the wording to be more objective and less emotional? :)
- chasb 13y agoIncluding libraries in a project does not an expert make.
- Sharma 13y agoLiked it too much. It made me feel like a star -:).
- coolsunglasses 13y agoExpert in JS despite my repos being predominantly Python/Clojure/Elisp. Sigh.
- mkhattab 13y agoI looked up bitprophet's report card (maintainer of Fabric and other cool stuff). Was surprised by this: I hate to say it but Jeff is becoming—as one of the top 96% most vulgar users on GitHub—a tad foul-mouthed (with a particular affinity for filthy words like 'shitty').
- bilalq 13y agoThe top 96% is almost the entire population. Doesn't really mean anything.
- mkhattab 13y agoYes, the wording is a little weird. Yet, still it doesn't make sense to make the assertion that a user is vulgar because they might have said the word 'shitty' once or twice.
- bilalq 13y agoSeems like it's mostly just sticking to a template. Though I do think it's a bit off here. Apparently, I'm in the top 33% most vulgar and often use words like "fucking". To the best of my knowledge, that maybe happened once. Nonetheless, this is pretty cool. I'm loving the graphs.
- benrhughes 13y agoPretty and neat, although I echo the sentiments of others on the use of "expert". Especially when github is where I do side projects, not stuff I'm good enough to get paid to do.
- iskander 13y agoIt's a cool idea but the language breakdown seems to have missed all the OCaml code in my repositories. Maybe there's some sort of conservative language whitelist?
- dz0ny 13y agolooks like it doesn't work anymore. Only getting 404.
- Flavius 13y agoLet's just say that everyone is a JavaScript expert these days. :)
- Argorak 13y agoSomehow, I don't like the wording. Mine says: ... is an awesome Rubyist (one of the top 19% most active Ruby users) who would rather be commenting on issues instead of pushing code. I do a lot of bug/PR triage for padrino when I find the time. Also, I have the habit of documenting each and every odd behaviour I find in tickets. Its an important task, yet the tone frames it as as if I was some kind of Statler and Waldorf kind of person. Other then that, its actually very accurate :). Except one thing: it seems to tread organizations as users, so most people are "good friends" with their companies/OS projects.
- davidw 13y agoThat's actually pretty good, although if it had looked further in the past, it would have found more languages for me.
