How long before this kind of thing causes GitHub to feel the pressure of a[nother] DoS?
It doesn't look like this makes a number of pushes, just a number of commits.

#12But that's cheating... Do you want to work for a company that buys this lie and make them believe you are a code machine? That lie WILL bite you in the back some day.
Personally I like to fuck with people who take themselves too seriously, and those companies -- companies that put "fully public, open-source contributions" at the top of their list of desirable (but not mandatory) job postings -- are certainly full of themselves.

#13And, how is this helpful you say?
By getting you that job with people who put more value on falsifiable data than on actual skill.
Public and open-source contributions aren't a measure of skill, in fact they're not a measure of anything other than public and open-source contributions.
Personally I try to keep all of my work as private as possible. There is no particular reason, I'm just a private person.
Do you really want to work for a company that measures competence based on pissing-contest and attention-whoring mentality?

#14Is there a way to tell the most frequent committer on Github? Maybe if there is Github could award a prize every month—a gift certificate to a pizza place maybe? (in secret of course)

#15I actually just started a challenge to do 100 commits in 100 days, and I'm up to almost 70 (w/ a streak of 31). This seems so much easier :P

#18I like it, not because I like cheating but because I think it exemplifies how bullshit this notion that more commits == more commited is, and how it encourages people pulling shit all the time. Even Linus is mad about it xD

"Public and open-source contributions aren't a measure of skill..."
Exactly. Because they're falsifiable. I'd personally rather work for people who value skill, not falsifiable data.

#20> # make a change to file.rb You don't need to change the file to create a commit. Just run this with appropriate range of committer dates: > GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=? git commit --allow-empty;
nice. Learning something new every day :)
