Engagement
A typical post picks up 218 interactions against 441K followers, an engagement rate of 0.05%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 56% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 34K times each, and 0.643% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.70% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 22 posts sampled, 18% carry an image or video, 18% are part of a thread and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.7K interactions, about 7.7x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
andrew chen's engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 40% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

lazymaxxing agentic coding: When i have multiple agents working on the same code repo, if there's conflicts/overlaps, they just figure it out amongst themselves? I want to have 8 tabs going on new features, and the agents just all auto handle the merging/testing/git/conflicts/etc without complaining about each other

Isn’t it funny we used to look up stuff and click on 10 different blue links, all overwhelmed with popups, ads, and flashing text, instead of just exactly the right answer by asking an LLM? Especially bad in anything travel, tech support, movie reviews, etc. Good riddance to the spammy blue links paradigm

- What is andrew chen's engagement rate on X?
- andrew chen (@andrewchen) has an engagement rate of 0.05%, based on the median interactions across 22 original posts from the last 30 days against 440,864 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.05%, andrew chen sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @andrewchen have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @andrewchen post?
- Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.07 posts per day across the measured window.
