Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:

githubUsers

Created August 24, 2012 17:01
Generating a properly secure SECRET_KEY in Django
"""
Two things are wrong with Django's default `SECRET_KEY` system:
1. It is not random but pseudo-random
2. It saves and displays the SECRET_KEY in `settings.py`
This snippet
1. uses `SystemRandom()` instead to generate a random key
2. saves a local `secret.txt`
