Author's github history looks like an absolute coding machine
Spending a little bit of my free moments throughout the day interacting with coding agents on my phone, it's almost impossible to not have solid dark green for every day. These charts are less useful than they have ever been for determining how much code a person writes, but they are probably a good metric overall to measure the productivity gains going on in the industry overall.

wow, using coding agents from your phone is interesting. what's your workflow look like?
Soooo, not knowing much about either curl nor front-end.. how DOES THIS WORK? Is this just some weird default logging in curl?
If you go to parrot.live from your browser it automatically redirects to the GitHub page for the project; The code for which is on line 103: https://github.com/hugomd/parrot.live/blob/master/index.js#L...
You'll notice though that if you change the user agent from your browser to include the string 'curl' you can reach the site from within the browser as the redirect logic encapsulating line 103 doesn't fire.
You can do that by:
* Opening Chrome,
* Opening Chrome Dev Tools within Chrome,
* Going to the Network Tab within Chrome Dev Tools,
* Clicking on "More Network Conditions" within the Network Tab,
* Go the the "User Agent" section and type 'curl' whithout the parens,
* Navigate to parrot.live with the network tab open and you should see the ascii animation in your browser.

many of those commits are in private repos. I've seen people pushing e.g. weather data to GitHub in regular intervals blowing up their commit numbers. Just check this to find crazy numbers: https://committers.top/
The days with lots of commits start rather abruptly at the end of 2023, so it being some sort of automation seems plausible.
A lone developer can get away with infrequent commits at no practical cost. Maybe something happened in 2023 that made them a more prolific committer.

With ChatGPT Codex connected to GitHub it's pretty neat. From my phone I throw some tasks at it and go about my day and then check in with it later. After giving it some time, I come back and look at what it's done and kick off some more or look at diffs and create PRs right from my phone. It's fairly limited in what can be done from the phone so you'll need to have a laptop for anything more involved than eg spellin…
Out of curiosity, my rudimentary measurement puts bandwidth usage at about 17 KiB/s. Some might say that's negligible nowadays, which is not that unreasonable (1 hour ~ 61 MiB). Still, my efficiency brain is tingling. I guess simply displaying chars is lower risk than running code on your computer.
Reminds me that I made a rainbow unicorn that jumped across your screen as a cmdline utility to be run after all tests passed. Coworkers got a good laugh if nothing else. Fun times.
Nice. I'm reminded of the IntelliJ extension that replaces progress bars with the Nyan Cat.
Fun little parrot! And beats installing with snap (I don't like snap). Out of curiosity, my rudimentary measurement puts bandwidth usage at about 17 KiB/s.
