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.

Why I recommend Renovate over any other dependency update tools
Started using renovate to update a few internal dependencies.
A few years later more than 30 projects using it and almost all of that growth happened naturally: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/renovate-gitlab-bot
We operate on a fork (5 commits or so) which contains some hacks to support a forked workflow on GitLab and some minor adjustments for that workflow. Really need to upstream some of it: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/renovate-fork/-/merge...
The author was always super kind, responsive and accommodating.

Mischievous NPM Publications
We‘ve been writing a tool to check lock files against the registry: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/untamper-my-lockfile
For now it only supports yarn, but npm support shouldn’t be too hard.
- gitlab is written in vue.js using nuxt. But in some places the pages on their site are updated? How is it implemented? If using nuxt and vue router doesn't refresh anything though

Bundle Size Analysis
Have you dealt with analyzing the bundle size between builds? I couldn't find anything except this and just wanted to see what's out there.

Development managers - what stressed you the most?
Keep an eye out for other ways to help others that stay more within your comfort zone. Maybe you create helpful documentation or a wiki page, maybe you improve an internal tool. If your team plans features and architecture in big group meetings, suggest that some topics might be better tackled with an asynchronous, written process that gives people more time to think about ideas. Some companies use an RFC (request for comment) process, which can be a really good way to collect the voices of quieter team members on big technical topics. (GitLab has a good example of this shared here. And there are examples in open source too, like this one from Rust.)

Mischievous NPM Publications
I know exactly where this is from. This has been floating around the Chinese Internet for a bit. The repo is originally at https://github.com/wheatup/evil.js but has been made private since then. A few variants of this was made and uploaded to NPM.
Here's a English translation of the README.md in that specific repo.
> What? The notorious 996 company wants you to hit the road?
