Glad you like it ! The database is about 20GB. All details about the import are on the readme : https://github.com/vdaubry/github-awards

No i havent updated it yet.

Hi, Vincent here, author of Github Awards. Thanks for pointing this out.

There is already a small note in footer stating that this site is no way affiliated with the Github company, i'll make that a lot more visible.

I'm using Google Geocoding API untill i reached the rate limit (2.5k calls / day) and Openstreetmap API for the rest

I added in the footer a small note explaining that this project is not related to the GitHub company, do you think i should make that more visible ?

What is your GitHub username ?

GitHub Archive data are not perfect, and there are also room for improvements in the import process.

The stars information comes from GitHub Archive : https://www.githubarchive.org/

There are some limitations, for example it doesn't include events before 2011

The concept of "star" has also changed several times (they are still called watchers in the API)

Hi,

I'm vincent author of GitHub Awards, if you have any questions feel free to ask

Most of my co-worker using Vim as their primary editor happens to be really good at their job. (Of course I wouldn't say that using Vim 'means' you're a good developers!)

Lots of very well summarized stuff. But web development has changed so much since 2002 !

While all of these subjects are still relevant : debug, log, memory, unit test, etc. I think nowaday a beginner will rapidly face broader problems in his career :

.Deployment / monitoring / Devops / Cloud

.Frontend VS Backend development

.Mobile development

All these subjects were a lot more isolated 13 years ago.

What he calls "heavy tools" like database, Full text search, they have all become a lot more common today. I wouldn't be surprised that a young developer will have to experience 2 or 3 different databases the first years he starts working (SQL / redis / mongo, etc)

Maybe it's me but i don't feel confident giving my credit card after reading the home page. After reading the whole page i understand the business but my first impression was really somewhere between "is this a joke ? / they are stealing credit card numbers"

Maybe the very cheap design discredit the whole project.
