Basically what it does is grab some files from the repository, removes newlines and prints it.
cat $(find -type f | shuf -n 1) | tr -d '\n' | print

They should really be caching the poster after each render. I've been staring at a loading screen for a while now.

Since this is for git repositories you'd probably want to sub that `find -type f' for `git ls-files'.

My time estimate included opening illustrator, layout out the code and printing it :)

As somebody that rarely uses illustrator or other graphical software, spending $30 or $50 for something neat like turning my code into a poster that I can hang on the wall is easily worth it — despite how little time it might take someone else to fire up illustrator or bang out some script.

I'm curious about the paper quality as well- it seems like it would be way cheaper for me to do this myself and get it printed locally.

Costco will print arbitrary images up to 36x24 (their largest size here) for under $10.
$40 for running a shell script and sending the file to the printer seems a bit excessive.
I find this service a bit expensive for something that can be made in 10 minutes with illustrator - maybe if I get fantastic glossy paper, but it doesn't seem to mention much about the paper specs.
