🔥 Full roast
🔥 15 years of unbroken, high-quality OSS work, 3 legendary Neovim plugins, upstream Neovim commits, and a 167:1 follower-to-following ratio that screams "I build tools people use, not a resume cover."
stevearc — 96.90/100 · GOD (Legendary · Hall of Fame)
TL;DR: A 15-year OSS lifer with three Neovim essential plugins, upstream Neovim contributions, and a follower ratio that makes follow-farming bots look like clowns — no farming, no fluff, just real engineering that people actually use.
| Dimension | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Account maturity | 10/10 | 15.58 years on GitHub, 17 years of active contributions, last activity 28 days ago — this isn't a new account riding a Neovim hype wave, this is a long-term operator who built the wave. |
| Original project quality | 17.4/18 | 56 original repos, 21,754 total stars, top three are production-grade Neovim plugins (oil.nvim 6.7k ★, conform.nvim 5.2k ★, aerial.nvim 2.3k ★) with no profile/config repo padding — the only missing points are because he hasn't made a 10k-star plugin yet, apparently. |
| Contribution quality | 27/27 | 158 merged PRs out of 184 total, 5% maintainer rejection rate, only 6 trivial PRs in the recent 50-PR sample — even his rare rejected PRs are substantive, and his self-closed PRs are him tidying his own work, not farming failures. |
| Ecosystem / maintenance impact | 20/20 | 120 PRs + 2,158 commits across 29 popular repos including neovim/neovim, with a verified sample showing 43 core engineering PRs to 29 doc-like ones — this isn't window dressing on big projects, this is actual upstream maintenance work that moves the ecosystem forward. |
| Community influence | 7.4/8 | 836 followers, only 5 accounts followed — a 167:1 follower ratio that makes follow-farming scam accounts look like amateur hour. |
| Activity authenticity | 15.1/17 | 338 contributions last year, 4 distinct activity types, 17 active contribution years, zero templated PR flooding or star inflation — his activity graph is a straight line of actual work, not a spike of farmed commits. |
Red flags None. No trivial PR farming, no empty repo padding, no star inflation, no self-promotional spam — this account is clean, and honestly sets a bar most OSS profiles can't clear.
Score calibration No extra adjustment. The base score already fully captures his 15+ years of sustained high-quality work, upstream Neovim contributions, and complete lack of farming or low-quality patterns, so no bump or haircut was applied.
Verdict Normal high-caliber OSS contributor. No manual review needed — this is the gold standard other accounts should be measured against.
