It's true: TypeScript surpassed Python and JavaScript to become the most-used language on GitHub. 📈
A bump chart titled "Top 10 programming languages on GitHub 2023-2025," tracking the popularity ranking of languages from February 2023 to August 2025. The most significant change occurs at the top: TypeScript (yellow line) climbs from rank #3 to overtake both Python (green line) and JavaScript (blue line), finishing at #1 in August 2025. Python ends at #2, and JavaScript drops to #3. The middle rankings remain stable, with Java at #4, C# at #5, and PHP at #6 holding their positions throughout the entire period. The lower rankings show volatility: Shell (yellow-orange) rises from #8 to #7, displacing C++ (light green) which falls to #8. HCL (bright green) enters the top 10 list in early 2024, fluctuating with Go and C before settling at #9. Go (blue) finishes at #10. The background is black with lines in various colors connecting the ranking nodes for each month.

Disagreement isn’t dangerous. Silence is. When leaders silence hard questions, toxicity grows in the shadows. Healthy conflict isn’t risky — it’s essential. If your team feels like there are things they can’t say, something’s already broken. Courage + honesty = real progress.

Don't worry, you're not bad at chess. You're actually bad at everything. Chess is just one of the only things with a good rating system.
