This is beautiful and hilarious. Thank you for the uplifting on a difficult morning.

Now to figure out how to give my best gist[1] a million stars :D

https://gist.github.com/aclarknexient/0ffcb98aa262c585c49d4b... (Making a Nice zsh environment: Quick HOWTO install fzf oh-my-zsh powerlevel10k fd ripgrep on MacOS)

PS. Gimme stars! I crave stars!

PPS. More seriously, the 47 stars on that little guide have a disproportionate impact on my happiness. Plus some of my most respected peers said it was useful to them. The lesson here is that you can meaningfully improve our software world without writing an ubiquitous and elegant framework or new language. Instead, people still need good curated content, guides that glue things together, and plain old documentation.

PPPS. So start writing gists and improve project documentation with PRs: I believe in you!

I think the number of badges in the README also need to be included in the formula for Q.

If I submit an empty repo, but have a friend star it, then I’m the peak coder?

This is silly.

I love it.

It made me smile, and also made me consider enforcing Q∝ on all devs :)

This made me laugh many times.

Something I wrote recently to put a smile on my face after a couple of tough weeks doing cold outreach.

If it makes another person smile, it was time we’ll spent.
