Awesome! This is super cool man!

As a fellow programmer getting into Steemit, have you heard of Utopian.io? It's another Steem-based website that integrates with Github. It lets your open-source contributions be viewed as content that can be upvoted, and I believe they have a bot that upvotes users who contribute.

I think you should give that a try while you continue this, explore another avenue of networking and revenue in the blockchain you don't normally see and give that a try. They might really like this project over there :)
