## Summary

I am a supporter of the opensource movement and I truly admire people like Eddie Jaoude, Matt Cowley and all other open-source maintainers who work hard every day. This post aims to raise awareness and show you why you should not be too quick at judging people by their GitHub activity stats as they can be easily manipulated.
