Firstly, to give you some more insight about our algorithm, commits are actually bonus points- they're not even a part of actual scoring. I'll make some changes to our landing page to communicate this better, thanks for your feedback!

Secondly, we’re currently focusing on startups looking to hire cracked coders, like college students or recent grads. The situations you mentioned are for senior engineers- people who have worked at companies for a while now. Not something we're too focused on right now, since senior devs would require different metrics and be more experience-based.

We’re currently focusing on startups looking to hire cracked coders, like college students or recent grads. In your case, if you've worked with some companies for a while, you might be considered a senior engineer. Not focused too much on senior devs right now, that would require different metrics and be based more on experience. That said, we do have some ideas that we're working on to go about it. Also, thanks for the note on the flashing- implementing it now

Activity is just a small part of how we assess their skills. Its more about the projects you've built- how complex they are, their architecture, frameworks etc.

Also we only look at your personal private repos, not organizations. A company would always store their codebase in an organization, which we don't access. And even in the case of personal repos, none of the code is stored or used in any way except to analyze complexity and get other metadata like languages, tech stack etc.

The whole point is that candidates often tailor their resumes to fit keywords from job descriptions, and we cut through all the bs to show what they've actually done, not what they say they can.
