What do these numbers mean?
  • OVR /99 β€” the overall rating: all six stats blended on a curve where 99 is deliberately unreachable. Even the legends top out in the mid-nineties.
  • PAC Pace β€” how often this profile ships (public events per week, ~90-day window).
  • SHO Shooting β€” stars earned on original repos. Impact, not volume.
  • PAS Passing β€” pull-request activity plus follower reach. How much the work connects.
  • DRI Dribbling β€” language range across repos, with a bonus for balance.
  • DEF Defense β€” how much of their own work is still maintained six months on.
  • PHY Physical β€” seasons on GitHub plus consistency inside the window.
  • TIERS β€” Bronze to 59 · Silver from 60 · Gold from 75 · Holo from 87. Earned from the rating, never bought β€” every card design keeps the true tier.
  • DATA β€” public profile, public repos, and ~90 days of public events, read live. Private work is invisible to the scouts, so private-repo heroes rate lower than they deserve. It's a vibe check, not a performance review.

🔥 The roast

Observations your profile earned. All of it is public record β€” zero AI.

  • 🔥🔥🔥Public activity in the last 90 days: basically none. Your GitHub profile has the energy of an out-of-office reply.
  • 🔥🔥🔥Your most popular repo (jquery-pjax, 16648 stars) hasn't been touched in over a year. 1930 people forked it. They're waiting. Still waiting.
  • 🔥🔥70 of your 71 repos haven't been touched in over a year. You don't have side projects, you have a museum.

Every line is computed live from public GitHub data β€” nothing is written or stored about anyone. If you'd rather your handle not appear in our example lists, tell @codewitholgun and it comes off.

👯 Dev twin & nemesis

Closest and furthest stat vectors in the legends pool. The tape doesn't lie.

YOUR TWIN · 99% match @brendangregg both know a repo graveyard when they see one, both pick their moments
YOUR NEMESIS · 55% match @matz ships every single week β€” no excuses
Settle it: battle your nemesis

Twin math: normalized distance across all six stats, against the 39-legend pool.
