Two panels over one timeline. The top is a daily contribution heatmap; the bottom is weekly code churn, with additions above the line and deletions below. Scroll the strip sideways and older weeks load as you reach the left edge.

How to read this›
- It is called code churn, not productivity. Lines added and removed measure how much code moved, not whether any of it was worth writing.
- Churn comes from GitHub's repository contributor statistics, which count every file in a commit. Lockfiles, generated output and vendored dependencies are in there, so the absolute numbers run high; the shape over time is the useful part.
- Contribution counts include private work, but only as aggregates. Public repositories are named; everything private is pooled into a single row, so no private repository name is published here.
- The great majority of contributions cannot be broken down by type. They sit in private repositories, or in organisations whose single sign-on policy the collecting token is not authorised for, and GitHub reports those as a count and nothing else.
- GitHub returns zero additions and deletions for repositories with more than ten thousand commits, so a small number of weeks may under-report churn.
- Records start the week of 2021-07-11.

Alvaro Villalba
Engineer, entrepreneur, and product builder
I'm Alvaro Villalba, an engineer, entrepreneur, and product builder working across AI systems, startups, and applied intelligence. I currently work across Clous and Sentyl, where the focus is multi-agent systems, integrations, product surfaces, and helping companies become AI-first. I studied aerospace engineering at UPM and I'm a self-taught programmer and designer.

The weight of time
This digital stamp album is a tribute to a gift from my grandfather. Each stamp here are actual stamps from my grandfather's collection.
My dream is to be able to complete the collection he once started.

Speed compounds. A week is 2% of a year; ship, measure, iterate.
Small teams outperform headcount. Two aligned founders with leverage beat ten siloed engineers with meetings.
Code is a liability; clarity is the asset. The less you need to read tomorrow, the faster you can climb.
Energy > ideas. Ideas without wattage die in Notion docs; hustle turns 'maybe' into ARR.
Knowledge compounds. I'd rather be world-class at many things than competent at one.
Learning should be organic. Those who learn from everything through life learn x10 more than those who force themselves to learn.
Dopamine from improvement beats dopamine from applause. Daily commits > conference keynote.
The efficient-market hypothesis is mostly cover for complacency. Find the weird, overlooked edges and build there.
You can refactor culture, too. Remove fear of failure and velocity doubles.
Physics sets the hard limits; everything else is an API design problem.
