The article is all over the map. A script run by one person is "real" but implementing a front end is not?

I build stuff that people use every day (judging by the flood of tickets I'll get if I ship a bug), but my public github profile looks like a ghost account. 99% of what I build is proprietary, and is either in a private or self hosted repo.

I'm not sure scanning public GitHub is a great way to identify "do nothing" developers.
