Dead heat

🔥 This GOD-tier showdown is so close it's basically a tie, but gaearon takes the win on contribution quality and activity authenticity, two hard metrics that completely run circles around torvalds — the latter's Linux is a genre-defining god-tier project, but his GitHub activity is so low-key it feels like he's just stopping by: he's got a 237-star Linux repo sitting there, but all his PRs go to scuba software and guitar mods, his contribution quality is dragged down by almost 6 points, completely

💡 How to level up

1) For torvalds: Stop treating GitHub like a backup repo, start submitting PRs to the Linux core repo, cut down on irrelevant contributions to scuba software and guitar projects, and bring your contribution quality up to par with your legendary status; 2) For gaearon: Don't let your discontinued original projects like react-hot-loader rot, fill in their READMEs, tests and official releases to boost usability, and you'll completely close the gap with torvalds on original project quality; 3) Both
