Since this went very viral: I'm not actually a super human coder. It's automation and the shades of green represent me actually doing work. I don't know why GitHub doesn't filter the automated actions for this graph. It clearly can distinguish them in the API/UI. Vercel uses a tool to measure dev productivity and it absolutely doesn't credit me with 10K contributions. I've been doing about a 1 PR per "traditional work day" during my time at Vercel, but tbh most of that code is written on the weekend as strong proponent of the 557 work day 😅 It was frowned upon to look at quantitative metrics during performance reviews for a while, but I've always been a proponent. Ultimately, we're here to ship code. If you didn't do that a lot, there might be a reason, but it must be a glaringly obvious reason. Is 2.1 PRs per day better than 1.9? No. But I want to understand why somebody does 0.3. Maybe they are just weak at structuring their work. My calendar today has 7.5 hours of meetings and a work dinner: - 2h customer calls - 1h board meeting of an industry org - 1.5h keynote planning for our Ship AI conf - 1h interview - 1h incident reviews + assorted fun stuff So, we'll see how much I'll get done today. Yesterday, I cancelled a bunch of meetings and spent a few hours chasing a bug in Next.js that @mintlify experienced. I eventually managed to reproduce and merged a workaround. Then I got a haircut and BBQed pork chops. So, overall a very fulfilling day
vercel cto btw how is this even possible @cramforce
