Python's Dad Has 12% Python
You literally invented Python and it accounts for 12% of your public GitHub. HTML and C are doing the heavy lifting at 57% and 28%. The student has surpassed the teacher — and the teacher wrote the syllabus.
96 Commits in a Year
26,257 followers, 5 following, and 96 public commits last year. The ratio of people watching you to things you've done is roughly 273:1. You're basically a monument at this point.
75% Abandoned Repos
staleRepoRatio = 0.75. Three-quarters of your repos haven't been touched in 2+ years. Guido 'move fast and retire repos' van Rossum.
28 Public Repos for 30 Years of Python
You've been coding since before most GitHub users were born, yet there are 28 public repos to show for it. Every junior dev on here has more repos. Presumably the rest is locked away in Dropbox circa 1994.
C Tier on His Own Platform
The creator of the world's most popular programming language scores a C on RateMyGitHub. The metric system has no chill and neither do we.

gvanrossum /
patma
Reference implementation repo for PEP 634 (Pattern Matching), featuring typed Python, structured multi-file examples, and test suite—established a key language feature adopted in Python 3.10.
gvanrossum /
gvanrossum.github.io
Personal BDFL website hosting essays, interviews notes, and Python technical articles. Typed language lacking but documents project scope across decades. Modest production usage as historical archive.
gvanrossum /
pythonlabs
Archival/memorial repo reconstructing pythonlabs.com. Thin codebase (16 KB, ~2 files), minimal Flask app serving static HTML, no tests. Some CI infrastructure present but unused. Low adoption; serves as nostalgic record rather than functional project.

Tier thresholds
▸ How the pipeline works
- 01Scrape.Pull every non-fork repo pushed in the last 90 days, plus your contribution calendar, followers, and language byte counts — straight from GitHub's REST & GraphQL APIs.
- 02Triage.A small model reads every repo's file tree + README and picks the 20 files per repo that actually reveal how you code.
- 03Grade each repo. All repos run in parallel through a fast scoring model that reads the picked files and rates each one independently on Impact, Quality, and Depth — with evidence citations.
- 04Aggregate. A larger reasoning model combines the per-repo scores with server-computed stats (heatmap, commit cadence, language entropy, follower count) to produce the 6-dimension profile score + roasts.
- 05Correct.Deterministic server-side checks enforce anchor-scale floors (e.g. a profile with 2,000+ public commits can't score 30 Consistency) and recompute the final verdict.
~90 seconds per profile, ~$0.25 in compute. Total of ~240 files read across your top-12 repos. One rating per GitHub account per day.
▸ Data sources & caveats
- Heatmap & commit totals: GitHub GraphQL
contributionsCollection— covers the last 365 days, includes private repos when the user has opted in (default). - Language %: byte totals across the top 30 owned non-fork repos.
- Curve: a small upward nudge centered on raw score ≈ 70, capping at 100. Prevents specialists from being unfairly penalised for narrow breadth.
- Anchor corrections: when server-measured signals (e.g. privateWorkLikely, multiRepoVolume, follower count) mandate a minimum category score, the aggregation step enforces it. These are signal-conditional, not identity-based floors.
