Many projects (especially in open source) are single coder hero projects. They trudge on. But to make projects sustainable, developers ultimately need to find ways to cooperate and pool their efforts. (Despite the not-invented-here syndrome

The ranking is accretive, as they say, which explains why it seems rather stable over time. I would like to see how it would have become if they limited to the data collection (from GH and SO) to e.g. the last 2-3 years only.

Probably a graph database. Considering graph dbs are optimised for JOINs (doesn't need to do them, due to direct relationships between individual records aka. index-free adjacency). The question is how you would effectively model the t

If you share a brief overview of it, you might receive some good critique of it here (surfacing potential pitfalls others have run into with similar systems). Besides, it might be helpful to others.

isn't it super-tags that are implication? A male author (sub-tag) implies it's an author (super-tag). But an author does not necessarily imply it is a male author.

In your examples, would the edges be like: tagged_with_italian_tag vs. tagged_with_spanish_tag ? tagged_with_genus_tag vs. tagged_with_geo_tag ? Would that afford such multiple graphs?

Interestingly, this is effectively a tag hierarchy (orthogonal to the content), which is also a DAG. https://twitter.com/mikeybtags/status/1582509479806980096?s=... I wonder what disadvantages such a tag hierarchy
