Questionable ranking algo. Easily hacked. We shouldn't and don't really need to "gamify" GitHub stats as it's likely extremely unhealthy.

it's a fun toy, not a serious benchmark. The gameable signals (followers, issues) are deliberately log-scaled and down-weighted so it's not trivially hacked Its a card for fun, not a leaderboard to optimize your life around.

Until somebody comes along and uses it for that. Fun toy turns into decision making tool that the creator never intended. Maybe nothing will come of it. That's just my unfiltered opinion on it. I don't assume malicious intent, only identifying the possible vector.

No file found “gandalf-” isn't a valid GitHub username. Not anymore you mean. It was 12 years ago and those accounts still exist https://github.com/gandalf-

Apparently it was ignoring the hiphen at the end, should be working now Nice card veteran

It says I’ve done 8 PRs- I’ve done a few thousand at least lol - you could get a ballpark by looking at “Pull Shark” count. Commits also look like it’s this year only?

it only analyze PR/stars the personal repo, not repos under organiziations.
