I See Dead Code

Yesterday, I merged the frame semantics branch, which I have been working on for my MSc thesis, into my personal repository. Since such a grave step always demands introspection, I looked at all 513 commits I ever to to the TreeAligner repository and created a little statistic on commit times.

The picture contains a 24h clock and shows the number of commits which were done in this hour of the day, scaled by the highest commit count (that being 2 in the afternoon).

What does all this tell us, apart from the fact that I had a free hour today? Well, I never code at 5 or 6 in the morning. For the rest of that, it’s more worthwhile to split the statistics in two parts:

08/2007 – 10/2008, 234 commits

10/2008 – now, 279 commits

Wow, I used to be cool. Hacking late in the evening. Now, it’s just a day job.
