there’s at least one guy i know of on github whose claim to fame is he finds code in existing codebases by big corpos that’s duplicated, breaks it out into a library, then PRs the original codebase with “instead of doing <this part> manually, switch to depending on this library”, then adds to his profile “my code is used by <big corpo>”. he had thousands of libraries like that last i checked, most of them less than ten lines of code.
