Every number about the journey lives here, once, with its date. Other pages
cite this one rather than restating a figure.

## The headline numbers

| Measure | Value | Read on |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Years on GitHub | 6 (account created 19 September 2020) | 2026-08-26 |
| Original repositories | 111: 75 public, 36 private | 2026-08-26 |
| Forks, not counted as own work | 19, all public | 2026-08-26 |
| Public repositories shown on the GitHub profile | 94 (75 originals plus 19 forks) | 2026-08-26 |
| Live MCP connectors | 9, all answering | 2026-08-26 19:36 UTC |
| Followers | 62 | 2026-08-26 |

## Repositories by year

Original repositories only, by the year they were created.[^github-repos]

| Year | Total | Public | Private | Private share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2020 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0% |
| 2021 | 23 | 23 | 0 | 0% |
| 2022 | 14 | 11 | 3 | 21% |
| 2023 | 23 | 17 | 6 | 26% |
| 2024 | 11 | 5 | 6 | 55% |
| 2025 | 18 | 8 | 10 | 56% |
| 2026, to 26 August | 20 | 9 | 11 | 55% |
| **Total** | **111** | **75** | **36** | **32%** |

The private share is the shape of the journey in one column: nothing private
while learning, then more than half of every year's work private from 2024 on,
which is what client work looks like from the outside.

## How the counts are made

- The repository list is the GitHub search `user:rrizwan98`, which returns
  repositories owned by the account and excludes forks unless asked; forks
  were counted with a second search (`fork:only`).
- A repository is placed in the year it was created, not the year it was last
  pushed.
- Private repositories are counted and never named.
- Repositories that belong to a company's own GitHub organisation are not
  owned by this account and are not counted.
- A connector counts as live when its MCP endpoint answers an `initialize`
  request with HTTP 200 at the time of the probe. Two other hosts were probed
  and answered 404; they are not counted.

## What is deliberately not counted

Commits, lines of code, stars and contribution streaks. They are easy to read
off GitHub and easy to game, and none of them says whether a system was
delivered and used.
