Okay, that's a fair point. I do think you bring up something important: we're all aware that a perfectly green graph means that it's either been gamed, or that the person spends an inordinate amount of time coding, but someone new to the field would have no idea.

I guess I'm glad that my github graph looks like the end of a minesweeper game. >.<

Its not that I'm not working, just that most of the stuff I do I tend to either cleanup and squash commits for, or they tend to be very much research project type deals that sure I can commit something but most of the time it would end up as: "this didn't work", "neither did this".

I'd love to commit something meaningful every day but honestly can't be arsed most of the time. If I'm sitting there at a serial terminal figuring out why I can't boot on an arm board, what silly thing should i commit? I have org notes that document that stuff, commits are for semi useful things not a measure of work/worth.
