I knew a guy who boasted about the number of repositories he created on Github. Said he created over four thousand.

I took a look. He did in fact sit down and create over 4,000 different, unique repositories. Each with a README and some slight variation on a few lines of code. That's some kind of dedication, I guess?

Was he a Go developer before generics? Published 4000 versions of the library, one for each type.

No, it was mostly short bash/python/php scripts.

And maybe he published it on GitHub?

That’d be funny. Seeing mass-repo-creator and then 4000 random repositories below it.
