Peak year 2020, six years ago. 29 of the 100 best posts X exposes came from 2020. 2025 produced 13. The best work is behind the account, so far.

Peak year 2020, six years ago. 29 of the 100 best posts X exposes came from 2020. 2025 produced 13. The best work is behind the account, so far.
GitHub peaked in 2019. X caught up 1 year later, in 2020. 72% of that GitHub activity is private, days counted, commits unseen.
On GitHub a quarter of days or more; X is not where they are loud.

Positive: X caught up after the work.
X peak year minus GitHub peak year.
Sample: 100 top posts from 2019 to 2025, plus 26 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.
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 @shl wrote into the best posts.
Among the 108 accounts we have read. Same numbers as the card, nothing weighted, nothing for sale.
