Scouting report

14-year veteran who publishes polished npm tooling

assessed from open-source footprint

Staff
78signal

Sam is the most polished of the cohort (polish score 79) and the only one who publishes packages — notably eslint-plugin-file-path-comment, a real published ESLint plugin. A 14.7-year account spanning JavaScript, TypeScript, Java and Go, though individual repos are low-star (max 1★) and abandonment is high at 79%. Strong fit where developer-tooling instincts and clean code matter more than headline stars.
