Fame and output are different axes

Rank a leaderboard by followers and you measure reputation. Rank it by contributions and you measure work. Plot both and the gap is obvious — most of the busiest people on GitHub have an audience two orders of magnitude smaller than the famous ones.

500 developers. Both axes are logarithmic. Highlighted points are the most-followed and the most-active — note how rarely they are the same people.

Where the commits come from

Every country is one tile, positioned by its real centroid. Equal areas, so the map shows the data rather than the size of Russia.
