This definitely falls under "really cool and completely pointless." One of the most important technology categories. :)
I had a much less sophisticated go with the Punch Card chart, a few years back.

All we need now is a beatmaker chrome extension to feed this into and create a tune.

haha this is awesome!
That heat map used to be a novel indicator of a user their activity. Now it just being abused these days.
*of their public activity.
*of a user's activity
...of a user's public activity.
Also, only commits to a master branch, for some very odd reason.
That's very clever - but I can't keep thinking that you would go to hell for using it...
Finally a use for the GitHub heatmap.
I'm a fan. It motivates me to stay active with open source even when my work does not directly involve open source coding.
Also a useful indicator of whether or not a user is likely to respond to PRs or issues even if the project you're looking at itself is a low-traffic project.
