Eighteen years on GitHub, 968 public repos, and zero stale projects? Simon isn’t maintaining a profile, he’s running a 24/7 software farmers market.

The language mix is Python, Shell, HTML, JavaScript, Swift, and Go, which is less a stack and more a developer buffet. Meanwhile the top projects read like a productivity spiral: llm, datasette, shot-scraper, sqlite-utils, and a repo literally called tools. At this point you’re not building side projects, you’re speedrunning the command line.

15.5k followers to 141 following is elite "I’ll just publish another utility instead of networking" energy. And the funniest part is the fork ratio is only 7%, meaning even your shortcuts have original source material. No bio, no stale repos, nearly 40k stars—your GitHub profile looks like what happens when a changelog becomes a personality.
