A brief looks in the git history of a repo, or of the user will betray this scam because it&#x27;s too transparent. Counting productivity by commits is silly.<p>Here is my current git commit history: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;Hl1rkPp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;Hl1rkPp</a><p>It doesn&#x27;t mean much if you don&#x27;t account for what I was doing.

I just imagine how this cold be extended with auto generated commit messages with common form and picking from customizable word lists =)
