Nonetheless, excellent work!

I was a programmer with 254 from 2011-2014. As others mentioned, a lot of the commits are done from Tom or Jared's computer, but students and mentors write the code. 254 programmers usually followed pair/group programming practices, forcing students (and mentors who might be there) to check our work with each other, and a lot of work ends up getting done on a couple of computers. Additionally, when testing the code on the robot, you can only deploy code from one computer at a time, so writing on multiple machines is an unnecessary hassle most of the time.

Github isn't designed for our practices of code writing. (Though a version control system that works for arbitrary groups of people committing as one would be cool). And for bugs, we usually just chased them down when we found them, getting help for them as needed.
