Estimate your GitHub account value (github-worth.vercel.app)

NaN $ Worth. I'm crushed.

So it’s based on contributions metric? Cool, I will automate a way to pr that fix grammar and typos in all github repos readme.md, and I’m a millionaire!!

10k… I’d take that. It’s 3 letters, which is rare I guess?

Thanks. This will help sort out all low-networth applicants

Without any information on how this is calculated, this is pure snake oil. Could be a RNG for all we know. Shame.

Linus Torvalds (username torvalds) is pegged at over $220k. Interesting, I'd think having the official GitHub mirror of Linux could arguably put his account worth in the millions.

400 bucks, apparently...?

Can’t wait for “must have a github account worth 20k+” to start appearing on job specs

I can always tell when it's a Next JS site because the enter button doesn't submit what looks like an obvious form. Not really Next's fault, per se, just the users of the framework.
