not to troll or anything but I find it utterly stupid that this is done. Also is it a big deal to have 1000 stars on a github project you run? I am curious because I do not know what the general perception is of github projects, I mean how much do they matter? I do not have a formal training on algorithms and I am studying machine learning now. Also I have a project having 200 something stars and one having 1000+ stars
- linkregister 10y ago1000+ stars is a pretty big deal! I imagine you could leverage this to gain software development job interviews if you were looking. Do they matter? It is just one of many metrics of how useful a repository is. I think it's one of the most public metrics that can be distilled to a single factoid on HN. There are absolutely better metrics to judge the quality of software.

- tkxxx7 10y agoteaching people to build web apps, especially without a framework in a language like Go, should buy you tons of leverage.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoI wasn't aware of it, thank you :-)
