Neat! People complaining about 'gamifying github' seem to be greatly over-estimating the author's goal here. Also neat to learn about the free dataset uploaded to https://ghe.clickhouse.tech/.
Yeah it is clearly a showcase for ClickHouse which is worth bragging about since it is quite performant. And it has a very strong community as the following shows:
I am honestly not sure if my solution can handle HackerNews at this point since generating deep insights for ClickHouse (which has a lot of history) is very expensive.
For those curious, I'm running DevBoard on a single 128 GB machine with 6TB of SSD in RAID 0 (I'm willing to take the risk) and the Postgres database has over 1000 partitions (including sub-partitions) that are optimized for my queries. I'm pretty sure ClickHouse can be more performant and if the creator of https://ghe.clickhouse.tech is reading this, I'm open to seeing if I can't get my solution working on ClickHouse.
Thanks. For a CTO, he is extremely active in the community. Only the ClickHouse robot is on par with his engagement. I'll reach out to him to see if ClickHouse is a viable option as my plan is to replace GitHub's insights tab with a useful dashboard (this is why DevBoard has such an minimal look), so I'll need a very performant DB that can work with my queries.
We are lucky to have him. It also helps that he was the founding engineer on the product.
Also, feel free to hit us up in GH (or we have a Slack). ClickHouse is used for a number of dashboarding implementations. It should work...but, as always, proof is in the testing.
Good luck! (and OMG, a better insights tab would make me a happy human)
I strongly prefer an ungamified GitHub, but can appreciate the OP's work (a nice site and some interesting stats). The two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
Not only can you turn the badges off in your profile but you are barely even encouraged to participate. I have absolutely no idea what badges I'm missing and I have never once done anything to achieve a badge that didn't come to me by naturally using github.
I really don't get why some of you think that github would be drastically different without badges.
