It is laughably easy to fake those green squares that for a while, ages ago, I had some commit counts like 14000 or so... every single day.
There are so many tools to also fake human like commit counts for those pretty green squares that if I came to know of my senior engineers hiring on that basis, their estimation as interviewers in my eyes would take a nosedive.
