A Short History of All People ...
summary
The talk analyzes Git history to locate defect-prone “hotspot” files defined as large, frequently changed, and indentation-complex. It uses simple metrics—commit frequency, file line count, indentation-based complexity, occasional cyclomatic checks—and D3 visualizations to show patterns (exponential distribution of changes, extreme hotspots, high co-change rates and coordination risk). Recommended remedies are targeted refactoring, co‑locating frequently co‑changed code, and using small composable libraries.
