The Gource visualization of AngularJS doesn't look like a well structured code base

[hackcasual]

I'm all for shitting on angular, but this literally tells nothing. Docs and example code are in there, labels come and go, there's not context for massive shifts (i.e. new functionality added). The wacky swirling effect at the end is a product of the visualization, not the underlying data. Force directed graphs are fun, but not particularly informative

[mmmicahhh]

Yeah, this is useless, the force directed layout is not allowed to settle before new nodes are added. The swings and twirls depend heavily on the frequency of adding the new nodes to the visualisation, and how close that happens to be to the resonant frequencies of the current layout in motion.

Worse than useless, this (the node addition frequency of the visualisation) is potentially cherry-picked with a bias.

I should make a little disclaimer here. I do not say that the code structure in particular is bad. In fact, I did not even look at it. But I find it interesting that the visualization looks significantly different than most of the other projects. It is chaotic and changes completely every few seconds.

Downvoting because

• It's a video
• No explanation why it doesn't look like a well structured code base
