I stumbled upon a github post called coding interview university and with the shiny object syndrome I have, I kinda want to ditch the roadmaps and start something new like this one in github, or the random dude I found in YouTube, telling his audience that he passed the FAANG interviews. The annoying part of me is that whenever I hear stuff like “I passed the FAANG”, I will immediately try to follow their path because their method works for them or to some other people

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
