I’m glad that there are people like who also realise and tackle this itch. Sourcerer All the work that an engineer does is largely forgotten after said feature, product, or fix has been released. We are a small group of software engineers who believe that this should not be the case. We believe an engineer’s work can tell a story. This work, from commits and source code contains a wealth of information not only immediately valuable for ourselves but also to the larger engineering community to share, discuss, and most importantly learn from It can also generate something like below that we can show on the repository README page Right now there is also some tools like that generate the top contributors info. all-contributors People are giving of themselves and their free time to contribute to open source projects in so many ways. It can be a real time sink sometimes and so they should be praised for all their contributions (code or not). Thanks to anyone who makes open source happen ❤️
