I remember work for pie has been featured here before, though they have added more details now which is great. Though I believe http://www.gitalytics.com/ gives a more detailed analysis based just on github contributions.
Hey, I like the look of gitalytics! I have never before seen a site that dug into my history deep enough to highlight that one tiny documentation patch I made to a comparatively high-profile project.
In a way it outshines my many commits to my own unloved projects; most analyzers don't pick that up.

It's been clear for some time now that, among top developers, Github has started replacing the resume. Work for Pie seems like a convenient way of getting -- at a glance -- an idea of the quality of a developer's Github profile.
They have literally replaced the resume:
http://resume.github.com/?alex
http://resume.github.com/?jacobian
http://resume.github.com/?ask
http://resume.github.com/?kennethreitz
http://resume.github.com/?rpetrich
http://resume.github.com/?jtauber
Neat idea, though. This is something I've also hacked on lately.

The point system seems too opinionated for me. For example not all devs have to use hackernews to be good, but its required to get a higher score. Also what happens when you hit 100? Is there really a perfect score?
The workforpie logo also makes me think im slaving away at tasks just to get a higher score.

Definitely a nice-looking site.
I can't seem to get it to connect to my BitBucket account though -- I keep getting a "Sorry, We couldn't retrieve any data for this account." message. All the other services worked flawlessly.

We're aware of this problem, and we'll look into it as soon as possible (we're currently on the road).
Your accout info should be saved, so once we sort out the problem your profile should be accurate.
Also, thanks for signing up!

Neat to see confirmation that the current scoring algorithm is multi-pronged and percentile based. Apparently my score (/dpritchett) is almost entirely propped up by HN karma.
I made something similar (but way to lame): http://g33k.heroku.com/
