I work for the Internet and am an advisor to @stripe. These are my personal opinions unless otherwise noted.
Peak year 2024, two years ago. 28 of the 100 best posts X exposes came from 2024. 2025 produced 1. The best work is behind the account, so far.

Peak year 2024, two years ago. 28 of the 100 best posts X exposes came from 2024. 2025 produced 1. The best work is behind the account, so far.
GitHub peaked in 2021. X caught up 3 years later, in 2024.
Under the X median for their size and under a quarter of GitHub days. The record is somewhere we cannot read.

Positive: X caught up after the work.
X peak year minus GitHub peak year.
Sample: 100 top posts from 2016 to 2025, plus 40 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 @patio11 wrote into the best posts.
