Glad to hear this. I get very sad about the increasing popularity of GitHub for new projects and the huge "importance" of GitHub stars :( It's like YouTube videos with "Hi! First : Don't forget to like and subscribe!" and now "Hi! We're on GitHub! Stars will motivate us to spend more time coding". Yeah right, how about a no nonsense approach ? And on the way there boycott big tech surveillance capitalism like Micros~t.sft [8.3]
Software making doesn’t need to be social media. Sad are the folks that think everything with an account should be Web 2.0.
