Ranked by work that shipped

Why this isn't a vanity metric

Most developer leaderboards count commits, which rewards whoever splits their work into the most pieces and ignores everyone who doesn't write code.

These standings are built from the same contribution record that drives revenue splits — work completed on a project, weighted by difficulty and time, and visible to the team it was done for. Because the same numbers decide who gets paid, there's a real check on inflating them.

That also means artists, designers, writers and audio people appear here on equal terms with programmers, which a commit count could never do.
