I keep seeing junior devs or recent grads that are entirely unsure how they stack up against their peers and decided to make something that helps them visualize it.

Very clear signs of Pareto distribution. Each ranked member near the top produces almost as much output as the rest of the tail combined.

    Yea, and I expect that trend to continue. It's a little forced right now since I've been populating it with some of the biggest names I can think of in the dev world so that there's a bit of a target for aspiration as well as some content on the site.

    I imagine that the majority of users that would find this beneficial are between the 1-5 YOE so at least it'll become a pareto within that range eventually.

At the stage where I'm wondering what to do for money in the short term while everyone re-discovers why they need good devs.

    I feel you.

    I did free dev work for around a year while working other jobs just to cut into the market. That was almost 2 decades ago.
