@Younesfdj Hey! I updated this PR with the new Evergreen playstyle to reward long-term consistency. I also patched a major bug in the active_years scoring logic that was severely undercounting veteran developers (like Linus).
Tested locally and bumped the cache. Screenshot attached of it working perfectly on Torvalds's profile! Let me know what you think!
