Peak year 2023, three years ago. 27 of the 100 best posts X exposes came from 2023. 2025 produced 27. Holding, not climbing.

Peak year 2023, three years ago. 27 of the 100 best posts X exposes came from 2023. 2025 produced 27. Holding, not climbing.
GitHub peaked in 2017. X caught up 6 years later, in 2023. 97% of that GitHub activity is private, days counted, commits unseen.
Above the X median for their size; GitHub sees under a quarter of days. The building is elsewhere or private.

Positive: X caught up after the work.
X peak year minus GitHub peak year.
Sample: 100 top posts from 2017 to 2025, plus 48 from 2026 shown but not counted. X exposes about 100 public posts per handle and leans to the best ones, so this is a portrait of when the account did its most-rewarded work, not a log of what it posted last month.

Each series is scaled to its own best completed year, so the shapes line up and the units do not. Red: how many of the account’s hundred most-liked posts came from that year. Ink: days with at least one GitHub contribution, private days included. ▲ marks the peak of each record.
Among the 108 accounts we have read. Same numbers as the card, nothing weighted, nothing for sale.

Counted from the same 100 posts as the card: a quote, a reply, or a mention each count one post for that account. Not followers, not likes received, only what @balajis wrote into the best posts.
