>Regular contibutions to personal GitHub for a year,

But what you quoted is not what she wrote. What she wrote was

  Some signals of persistence that I’ve seen:
  * Daily contribution to GitHub for one whole year.
  * Being good at anything that requires consistent effort, 
    e.g. a Kaggle master, a chess master, a professional athlete, etc.
  * Having previously joined another early startup before and stuck around.

I get that the idea here is to look for positive signal but for someone talking about daily github contributions her own https://github.com/chiphuyen?tab=repositories falls a bit short. Not a good look.
