GitHub Top Developers by Year (2015-2025)
A derived dataset showing the top-ranked GitHub trending developers for each year, based on weighted scoring of their trending appearances across 41,841 raw data points from the Wayback Machine.
π Dataset Overview
- Total Entries: 8,125 ranked developers
- Years Covered: 2015 - 2025 (11 years)
- Unique Developers: 4,763
- Source: Derived from Wayback Machine snapshots of GitHub trending developers
- Data Order: Sorted by year (descending: 2025 β 2015) and rank within each year
π§ Dataset Configurations
This dataset has two configurations defined in the YAML header:
Configuration: yearly (Default)
Top-ranked developers by year with 8,125 entries
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset('ronantakizawa/github-top-developers', 'yearly')
Columns:
year(int): Year (2015-2025)rank(int): Overall rank for that year (1 = highest score)username(string): Developer/organization GitHub usernamename(string): Real name of developer/organization (enriched)times_trended(int): Number of times appeared on trendingbest_rank(int): Highest rank achieved (lowest number)avg_rank(float): Average rank across all appearancesmedian_rank(int): Median rankpopular_repos(string): Top repositories (comma-separated)recent_company(string): Company/organization affiliation (as of Dec 2025)twitter_username(string): Twitter/X handle (as of Dec 2025)
Configuration: full
Complete daily trending data with 41,841 entries (sorted by date: most recent first)
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset('ronantakizawa/github-top-developers', 'full')
Columns:
name(string): Developer/organization GitHub usernamerank(int): Position in trending (1-25)popular_repo(string): Associated repository at the timedate(string): Snapshot date (YYYY-MM-DD, sorted descending)
π Scoring Methodology
Each developer's yearly score is calculated using:
Score = Ξ£ (26 - rank) for each trending appearance
Where:
- Rank 1 = 25 points
- Rank 2 = 24 points
- ...
- Rank 25 = 1 point
Why this works:
- β Rewards frequent appearances (more days trending = more points)
- β Rewards high rankings (rank 1 is worth more than rank 25. We use 25 because github ranks the top 25 developers on their page)
- β Balances consistency with peak performance

3. Trend Shifts Over Time
2015-2017: Organization Era
- Big tech dominated: Facebook, Google, Microsoft
- Individual developers rarely broke top 3
- React ecosystem (Facebook) was the dominant force
2018-2019: Transition Period
- Mix of organizations and influential individuals
- Rise of open-source foundations (Apache, Linux Foundation)
- Container/cloud technologies gained traction
2020-2025: Individual Developer Era
- Individuals dominate top ranks consistently
- emilk (egui) becomes most successful developer ever
- Specialized tool creators rise (PySimpleGUI, hrydgard's PPSSPP)
- AI/ML researchers become more prominent (rasbt, 2024-2025)
5. Notable Patterns
- Extreme Consistency: emilk appeared 370 times across 6 years (average 62 times/year)
- 2021 Peak: PySimpleGUI set record with 120 appearances in a single year
- Developer Longevity: sindresorhus maintained relevance from 2015-2021 (7 years)
- Organization Decline: Big tech companies dropped from top spots after 2019
- Ecosystem Impact: Most top developers maintain influential open-source libraries
