@dhh vs @torvalds

“@dhh spent 18.5 years collecting 26,420 followers only to squeeze out a pathetic 317 stars across 9 mostly dead repos—a conversion rate so tragic it belongs in an analytics post-mortem. While @torvalds commands 257k stars on sheer low-level dominance, @dhh sits on an 18/100 dev-cred running a Ruby ghost town where nearly half his projects have flatlined. Having an 18-year head start just to average 17 stars a year is peak vanity-metric embarrassment.”
