With GitHub's API, commits are so easy to game. I'd never use commits as a measure of how good of a programmer someone is. I made a Python script in 15 minutes to commit to a repo every second, and the repo is sitting at about 750,000 commits.

are you the guy hosting that "time as a service" github repo? Where the time is always updated and you can curl the json or whatever and get the time?
Nope, not at all. Do you have any links to what you're talking about?
