Git-based slop metric is clever, but the author admits results are often wrong.

Strengths
  • Novel metric attempting to quantify human attention versus code volume.
  • Transparent about limitations and invites community improvement via PRs.
  • Fun visualizations comparing React, Deno, and obscure repos.
Weaknesses
  • Author admits accuracy is unreliable for many repositories.
  • Indirect measures easily thrown off by vendored dependencies.
Target Audience

Engineering managers, open source maintainers
