Input from Gemini 3.1 Pro:
✦ I have successfully applied the refined changes to
Methodology.mdandFAQ.md. The problematic 'script kiddie' phrase was replaced with 'automation spam', the redundant Data Factory wording was fixed, and the new philosophy section now correctly references the Data Scientists guide.The changes have been committed and pushed to
dev.

The DevIndex top 20 contains obvious outliers (e.g., accounts with 6 million commits). This naturally leads to criticism that the index is full of "cheaters and bots."
We need to update the documentation to clearly articulate our philosophy: we do not censor the raw data (unless the profile explicitly self-identifies as a bot). These outliers are valuable datasets for researchers studying automation trends.
We will update
Methodology.mdandFAQ.mdto:Hide Commit Ratio > 90%filter for a more "human" view.
