Hmmm isn’t a lower Peter count better? From what I understand, OpenClaw is a mess, and it kind of shows from the commits. Pull requests with 1500+ commits, only reviewed by bots, etc.

Or perhaps this is what the “roast” part of the repo refers to.

Regardless, he seems to be a quantity over quality person

I thought this has something to do with the Peter Principle.

Peter Steinberger is the 100x developer type. So using him as base unit is a very high bar. Majority of programmers I see (before AI) hover maybe 0.5 to 0.1 Peter. MS getting 1.86 is mostly due the measurement is for their public GitHub which is still quite good. If their hidden coding bases measured, it probably would be several thousands of Peter.

Article does not explain what Peter unit is. Title is misleading.

I like weird units no one wants to talk about. For example, I make .0016 Levandowski's.

Can we not post clickbait to HN? My fault for clicking, I guess. An informative title would be e.g. "Compare your organization's Github productivity to @steipete."
