Star-powered archive
1,137 of 1,282 total stars come from questions-for-employers; one Markdown collection is carrying the audience analytics.
Calendar on power-save
83 commits this year and a sparse heatmap make the 2026 DSCovery push look more like a flare than a rhythm.
Process backlog
DSCovery has Docker, Gunicorn, and 8+ ATS importers, yet no CI, tests, typing, or license—production ambition without the guardrails.
Museum wing
92% of owned repositories are stale, while Tango's last push was in 2018; the profile has history, not much active rotation.
Built using
Zoral
Shadows one worker for a week, then takes over their job with zero extra setup. Behaves exactly like the original.

questions-for-employers
A widely adopted, carefully organized interview-question collection with 1,137 stars and substantial topic coverage, though it is a documentation-only repository without tests, CI, license, or typed implementation.

DSCovery
DSCovery is a deployed civic-tech job aggregator with Django models, authenticated job workflows, and importers spanning 8+ ATS platforms, but it lacks typed code, CI, a license, and authoritative test coverage.

Tango
A documented MIT Django CMS package with user profiles, video integrations, galleries, templates, migrations-compatible models, and Travis CI; meaningful historical evolution is offset by legacy dependencies, untyped Python, and no authoritative test flag.

▸ 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.
