I once had a job interview for a friend’s company and they told me that their boss values that chart and how it would not look good that mine was empty… Because I wasn’t using GitHub… So I made a script in a private repo to postdate commits randomly for the past several years. Once I pushed it, it looked like I’d been working on private GitHub repos frequently. I guess the guy didn’t care as long as it had lots of green.

I’ve also seen people make art with it, which I think is very funny
