My tool is designed to obtain insights from Git history and I've never understood how people can take such offense to git blame. I do agree calling it "blame" was probably not the best thing to do, but the fact is, it serves

I really need to add a compare feature to my tool as it would make analysis a lot easier. Having said that, there is no denying there is a huge difference in work being done in both projects over the past 30 days. Amazon does have 16 open

Since search is your domain expertise, I'll take your word for it :-) As for GitSense, checkout the impact section and sort contributors by "First Commit". With this, you'll get a very good idea of the developer's

What may hurt them though, is the number of customers that currently feel things are currently "good enough". I don't know what their sales engagement looks like, so I'm not sure if this will really hurt them or not.

Just out of curiosity, what criteria do you use to reach out when you see a "Show HN" post? I posted last week and I obviously never hinted at wanted to raise funds or such. I would like to post again and maybe be more direct in

Thanks. Developer metrics are really going into a negative direction and I want to see if I can't change this. We really need to drill into people that it takes work to generate meaningful insights.

I'd also wager this is probably the most useful or close to the most useful metrics you can use. With this metric, plus the user's persona (male or female, teen or elderly, and so forth), you have a fairly accurate user driven ra

Ideally you would like to hire more than one, but I think my use of the word "discourage", was not the right one. What I ultimately wanted to say was, you want a balanced team, where no individual development pattern sticks out.
