Decorating the commit history calendar has been around since forever: https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti

Fake code generators have been around since forever: https://hackertyper.net/

Combining them seems like the logical next step.

HackerTyper isn't a generator, but is actually from the Linux kernel. It's kernel/groups.c, but just a really old version.

This feels ethical.

We have broken, emergent incentive structures in our system. Tweaking those can be good or bad. It's not like a cheating on a test.

If I were to modify it, I'd make it draw a picture :)

Might be worth explicitly staying you feel it’s unethical so it’s possible to respond to your position.

I for one am able to think of numerous ethical ways it might be of use.
