Analyze a code repo to identify common patterns in files and commits.

Analyze across repos to find design patterns, libraries, and potential 'seams' across software projects.

Many stacks to roughly the same thing: persistence, MVC, helpers, etc.

Big data approaches to open-code may be able to reveal patterns like:

  • What is a slice in an application?
  • What does a slice look like across stacks? Rails vs. Django vs. etc. etc.

Tagging commits as patterns:

  • New Card
  • Validation
  • CRUD
  • external call
  • waiting
  • Date, Radio, Form element
  • Custom UI Component

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.
