Stephen Collins.tech

Studying how codebases actually behave.

We build tools and run analyses at the intersection of software complexity, codebase health, and AI-generated code. This org is where that work lives in the open.


Recent OSS Analyses

Last updated: 2026-03-04 · Full dataset coming soon

What We Study

Area Description
Structural complexity Measuring and mapping risk in real codebases at file and function level
AI-generated code How Copilot, Claude, and coding agents change codebase structure over time
OSS health over time Longitudinal complexity drift in major open source projects
Agentic codebases What happens to a codebase when agents write most of it

Open Artifacts

  • hall-of-fame/ — Legendary gnarly functions from OSS history, analyzed
  • ai-code-studies/ — Research into AI-generated code patterns and failure cases
  • open-source-breakdowns/ — Per-repo complexity analyses with risk maps (coming soon)
  • code-complexity-dataset/ — Open dataset of OSS complexity metrics by quarter (coming soon)

The Tool

Everything here is generated by Hotspots — a static analysis engine that finds the highest-risk files in any codebase before they become incidents.

macOS

brew install Stephen-Collins-tech/tap/hotspots

Linux
