Dan’s GitHub reads like a museum wing sponsored by hot reloading. react-hot-loader, react-hot-boilerplate, react-transform-boilerplate — at this point your commit history looks less like version control and more like a thermostat with opinions. Even your biggest hit is deprecated, which is the most legendary possible maintainer flex: “Here’s 12k stars. Please stop using it.”

297 public repos with a 69% fork ratio is incredible. That’s not a profile, that’s a curated anthology of “let me just tweak this real quick.” Meanwhile 90,853 followers to 174 following has strong open-source celebrity energy: the GitHub equivalent of everyone hearing your thoughts on architecture while you politely decline their side project.

overreacted.io having 7k+ stars is maybe the funniest part. Most dev blogs get bookmarked, yours got product-market fit. And then there’s whatthefuck.is in CSS, which feels right — only a front-end legend could turn existential confusion into a styled resource. No bio, 15.1-year-old account, pushed today: absolutely classic “too busy shaping JavaScript discourse to fill in the profile form” behavior.
