This seems to be completely wrong for me. It describes me as a "high caliber Javascripter" when my only projects are in Objective-c. I'm guessing it's picking up JS from the GitHub pages I have setup for one of my projects.
The adjective is random, it listed me as a javascript expert[1] too, and I do have a couple of js projects, but the bulk of it is php. The only project that's even gotten contributed to is in php.
And I don't know where it's getting that I do shell scripting....
But it does make me look pretty good so I might just send it to potential employers >_>
It worked for a little bit, but now I keep getting 404s when I submit a name.
Also, for my handle it keeps saying that there's not enough information to generate a report card. I would be a neat motivator to see what I need to improve to get a report. :-)
Agreed, it'd be a nice bit of ego-stroking if it wasn't so transparent :) I would not call myself an expert, perhaps the author might want to change the wording to be more objective and less emotional? :)
I looked up bitprophet's report card (maintainer of Fabric and other cool stuff). Was surprised by this:
I hate to say it but Jeff is becoming—as one of the top 96%
most vulgar users on GitHub—a tad foul-mouthed (with a
particular affinity for filthy words like 'shitty').
Yes, the wording is a little weird. Yet, still it doesn't make sense to make the assertion that a user is vulgar because they might have said the word 'shitty' once or twice.
Seems like it's mostly just sticking to a template. Though I do think it's a bit off here. Apparently, I'm in the top 33% most vulgar and often use words like "fucking". To the best of my knowledge, that maybe happened once.
Nonetheless, this is pretty cool. I'm loving the graphs.
Pretty and neat, although I echo the sentiments of others on the use of "expert". Especially when github is where I do side projects, not stuff I'm good enough to get paid to do.
It's a cool idea but the language breakdown seems to have missed all the OCaml code in my repositories. Maybe there's some sort of conservative language whitelist?
... is an awesome Rubyist (one of the top 19% most active Ruby users) who would rather be commenting on issues instead of pushing code.
I do a lot of bug/PR triage for padrino when I find the time. Also, I have the habit of documenting each and every odd behaviour I find in tickets.
Its an important task, yet the tone frames it as as if I was some kind of Statler and Waldorf kind of person.
Other then that, its actually very accurate :). Except one thing: it seems to tread organizations as users, so most people are "good friends" with their companies/OS projects.

[1] ha ha.
Nice work. I like the simple design.
"Linus seems to speak only one programming language: C. Maybe it's about time to branch out a bit."

Either way bravo, great idea.
Sigh.
