exclude: tax-app from throughput analysis (import-dominated history)

Browse Source 
tax-app's history is one commit of 104K logical lines — an initial
import of a codebase, not authored work. Removing it to keep the
comparison honest.

Changes:
- scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts: added EXCLUDED_REPOS constant
  with tax-app + a one-line rationale. The script now skips excluded
  repos with a stderr note and deletes any stale output JSON so
  aggregation loops don't pick up pre-exclusion numbers.

- README hero: updated to 810× run rate + 240× YTD (were 880×/260×).
  Wording updated to "40 public + private repos ... after excluding
  repos dominated by imported code."

- docs/ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY.md: updated all numbers, added an
  "Exclusions" paragraph explaining tax-app, removed tax-app from
  the "shipped not WIP" example list.

New numbers (2026 through day 108, without tax-app):
  - To-date:  240× logical SLOC (1,233,062 vs 5,143)
  - Run rate: 810× per-day pace (11,417 vs 14 logical/day)
  - Annualized: ~4.2M logical lines projected

Future re-runs automatically skip tax-app. Add more exclusions to
EXCLUDED_REPOS at the top of the script with a one-line rationale.

I'm [Garry Tan](https://x.com/garrytan), President & CEO of [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/). I've worked with thousands of startups — Coinbase, Instacart, Rippling — when they were one or two people in a garage. Before YC, I was one of the first eng/PM/designers at Palantir, cofounded Posterous (sold to Twitter), and built Bookface, YC's internal social network.
**gstack is my answer.** I've been building products for twenty years, and right now I'm shipping more products than I ever have. In the last 60 days: 3 production services, 40+ shipped features, part-time, while running YC full-time. On logical code change — not raw LOC, which AI inflates — my 2026 run rate is **~880× my 2013 pace** (12,382 vs 14 logical lines/day). Year-to-date (through April 18), 2026 has already produced **260× the entire 2013 year**. Measured across 41 public + private `garrytan/*` repos including Bookface. AI wrote most of it. The point isn't who typed it, it's what shipped.

> The LOC critics aren't wrong that raw line counts inflate with AI. They are wrong that normalized-for-inflation, I'm less productive. I'm more productive, by a lot. Full methodology, caveats, and reproduction script: **[On the LOC Controversy](docs/ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY.md)**.
