Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath, and I'm one of the co-founders of GitHub.

GitHub, if you haven't heard of it, has been described as "Facebook for developers." Which is great when talking about GitHub as a website, but not so great when describing GitHub as a business. In fact, I think we're the polar opposite of Facebook as a business: we're small, never took investment, and actually make money. Some have even called us successful.

Which I've always wondered about. Success is very vague, right? Probably even relative. How do you define it?

After thinking for a while I came up with two criteria. The first is profitability. We employ four people full time, one person part time, have thousands of paying customers, and are still growing. In fact, our rate of growth is increasing - which means January was our best month so far, and February is looking pretty damn good.

    var date, expires;

    if (days) {
      date = new Date();
      date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
      expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();

Haskell is cool!
Here are some reasons why.

(This is a Literate Haskell file, so you can load it and then follow
along with the examples by running `ghci whyhaskelliscool.lhs`)


"Pattern matching" syntax for defining functions is cool, letting you
avoid 'if' statements and simply write out the different behaviors of
a function:

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
 .filter(user => user.followers > 1000)
