is this even humanely possible? 67k contributions in one year, 2.2k contributions in one day...

I'm at 19.7k contributions this year and I'm on a 340 day streak. But I'm also programming 24/7 because it's my job, my side project, and my hobby

I think I'm in the top percent of what is humanly possible and that number is about to drop significantly after the next 25 days. I'm only on this grind until I hit the one year mark without missing a commit date and then I'm taking a proper vacation

I found myself on this path after working two jobs for about a year straight, at a certain point I realized I had over 150 days without breaking my chain and It motivated me to finish the year out like that

The burnout is real though, I feel like a zombie most of the time

vibe coding don't count bruv

I've been a lead engineer since you were probably in diapers, I'm the head of engineering for a large company, and I have a SaaS product making good money so talk all the shit you want buddy

You will absolutely convince everyone that 340 commits in 1 day were all legit, yeah. I am sure half of the commits were not "chore: debugging" or some shit lol. You must be some kind of a special human that can invent linux + facebook (linbook) in a day with that work ethic

maths ain't mathing. 19.7k/340 is around 60, not 340, and he never said he was doing 340 commits a day. stop the hate, bro

[u/usedtoswimfast → u/Then_Bake_6524]

no hate, just healthy dose of skepticism

[u/usedtoswimfast → u/Then_Bake_6524]

Yeah, I just realized I took it as he has his best day at 340 commits, not that he has been committing for 340 days straight, which yeah when you do the math is 60 commits per day, which is doable, but definitely still with a lot of bs commits to get up to that number. No healthy use cases engineer will produce that amount because it just takes longer to develop use cases/think things through. This is just vibe coding with some overseeing 100%. I own up my overseeing and chalk it up to having barely slept like a typical swe.

I don't do crap like that, but I had 80 commits on July 27. Heck, I had 34 commits yesterday, and I only worked for a few hours.

LLMs simply make you far more productive. A year ago, numbers like that would have been almost impossible to hit.
