Can data tell you who is the most followed python developer on GitHub?

Apparently, yes!!!

Git Hub is a vast repository of developers online. We developed an algorithmic approach where we pulled out the profiles of developers on GitHub. We identified their followers, repos, activities, etc. as the primary parameters for their qualities. Furthermore, we visualized every developer as a colorful bubble based on their coding language expertise. Red for Python developers, Blue for Javascript, Green for Ruby, and so on.

And, Voila!!!

What you just saw is the jungle of developers on Git Hub. Each developer is separated from the other by name, domain, followers, and repos. Bigger the size of the bubble, larger is the social media influence of the developer.

Surprisingly we found an interesting insight that Gramener CEO, S. Anand, from Bangalore is the most followed Indian Python developer in the community.

Similarly, Nemo is the most followed Indian JavaScript developer on Git Hub as per data.
