I use to feel the same way, but I've been slowly incorporating the circular avatars into my own solution. I don't know why GitHub changed things, but from my own personal experience, I've found circular avatars to be "l

When I took a break from my startup, I ended up working for a fintech company and you will be surprised by a) how much money they have b) how little understanding of tech they have For many non-traditional tech companies, they feel spending

I'm sure money played some part, but the fact is, unless you have researched code search, it's quite a difficult problem to solve. The biggest problem is, it's very difficult to define relevancy, since code search is EXTREME

I'm currently building models around high functioning software developers/projects and what I've noticed is, churn can swing quite a bit. Take the following for example: https://imgur.com/Yb8WvJY Over 150 da

I think "doesn't help anyone" is a bit of a stretch, since many tech workers actually did quite well during the lockdown, since they were forced to spend less due to a lack of options. I'm in Ontario so what is being dis

It definitely is a single person maintained project (he's responsible for 99% of the code churn)...not that there is anything wrong with that. Here's a breakdown of his contributions: https://imgur.com/E8tWj3P

I'm working on something close. You can create a team by combining any number of contributors, from any repository and start tracking their activity. https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/contributo

You can't, unless your question is "how do I mirror a github repo?" I'm currently indexing thousands of GitHub repos for analytics reasons, and if you don't play nice (fetch infrequently), GitHub will throttle/

This would make sense, as it looks like money wasn't a huge factor. If money wasn't an issue, time and effort would be, and you can easily reduce effort by storing pretty much everything.

For those that don't know, Gitea forked from Gogs a while back and they are very much being developed with two different philosophy. If you take take a look at the active contributors for Gitea and Gogs, you can tell how much they dif

This is cool and I appreciate software development insights is getting some love. Full disclosure, I wouldn't say I'm working on the same thing, but we definitely have some overlap, when it comes to software development insights,

Thanks for the kind words. I'm on reddit but I haven't posted in a while, so I'm not sure if what you saw was mine. Actionable software metrics is extremely hard to create, which is why we are often left with VERY LOW hangin

Hey thanks for the interest. Unfortunately I don't have an automated way to sign up (my focus really is on the technology as it's not trivial), but if you send me an email (see profile), I can add you to my list.

I'm not sure what your point is. Antirez has been contributing to redis for over 11 years and accounts for 80% of all its code churn. https://imgur.com/RnlzECa In just the last 90 days, he accounted for 50% of the cod
