I've always had a fascination for Github timeline graphs since they released it. It's simple and pretty and potentially meaningful (and fits nicely on a geek tshirt<\/a>). Yes, it may say<\/em> things about you.<\/p>\n

The following is an attempt at decrypting what a few actual Github timelines say, or might say, or don't say at all, after a thorough and thoughtful psychosocial analysis that guarantees an accuracy of roughly 2% in the best case ;)<\/p>\n

I'm a student<\/h2>\n

\"audreyr\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"I love this thing, but unfortunately I haven't got much time for it except during summer holiday and a couple days during holiday season. Also, I wish I could spend more time on this!"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have too much time on my hands<\/h2>\n

\"contributions\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"Oh my, I love that tool I love that site I love that timeline graph I have to make something witty with it. Also, I suck at pixel art."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I'm a reliable guy<\/h2>\n

\"nathanrice\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"Github is not my primary dev platform. This said, I have a few projects hosted there, and they're all maintained. Also, count on me to monitor open issues and answer them in a timely manner."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I'm a nerd. No, wait. I'm THE nerd<\/h2>\n

\"sferik\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"It's already 10am and I haven't committed anything, I'm starting to feel fuzzy inside, I should get back to work. Also, my command line Twitter client t<\/a> is pretty neat"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I'm an annoying noob<\/h2>\n

\"noob\"<\/p>\n

"Hi! I've just created an account here on Github to open an issue that's obvious but I can't be arsed to search or read the wiki first. Also, I need to install Facebook on my Mom's computer, how do I do that?"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I'm a professional. 9-17, Mon-Fri<\/h2>\n

\"weierophinney\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"I use Github at work, but week-ends are not for work, they're family time. Also, Boss, please, I had only one week off during July and another for Halloween, I need holidays!"\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I'm new and I'm hooked<\/h2>\n

\"julycoding\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"Hi there! I'm new here and what can I say, I *love* it here! Woohoo! Also, I'm super enthusiastic!"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I'm handsome, sympathetic and smart<\/h2>\n

\"ozh\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"During July I take a month away from computers, no need to bother opening issues here. Also, YOURLS 1.7<\/a> is just out, did you update?"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
