Have you heard of Hirsch index for academic researchers and publications?<p>We adapted the algorithm for open source contributors. Fun project!<p>Open Source Hirsch Index is equal to N if a developer has at least N projects, each with at least N commits from the developer, and each project has at least N stars.<p>Hirsch ≥ 27 is like winning a Nobel Prize—only a few hundred people reach this level.
Hirsch ≥ 13 puts you in the top 10,000, which is on par with earning an Olympic medal.
Hirsch ≥ 8 places you in the top 100,000, where you’ll find people making a serious impact in tech—think billionaires and CTOs of unicorn companies.
Hirsch ≥ 3 lands you in the top 1 million, the marathoners of the industry.
