The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A fast GeoJSON implementation in ~60 lines of declarative Python
Decodes and encodes significantly faster than alternative libraries (~15x faster than jazzband/geojson on the example data).

Object oriented programming in GiS

I used Python to control a custom stop-motion animation drawing machine
The frames' vector data is generated using a sketch made with my vsketch framework (it involves loading GeoJSON data, processing it with Shapely, and projecting it in 3D with NumPy).

GIS Developer career path
As has been said the definition of a GIS dev is far from written in stone, but to chime in from a personal standpoint: most of what I do is data wrangling/analysis with shapely/geopandas for vectors (or pygeos / fiona for performance when data volumes get large, but seeing as Shapely 2.0 just got released one can likely skip this part) + rasterio for rasters as well as parallelising these tasks for performance if needed (ray is great for that) and then performing machine learning learning against the data (mostly with sklearn and torch).
- shapely 2.0b1 released

Using QGIS Processing Toolbox in an Independent Application?
geopandas and the underlying geometry library shapely provide an alternative to the majority of the basic GIS functionality of qgis. See e.g. https://autogis-site.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for a tutorial for the basics of these libraries.
- Shapely 1.8.0 released
- Trouble interpreting traceback from attempting to use DeepLabCut
