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.

The Case for Frameworks
It's pretty easy to find that the example I gave isn't gamed... A cursory search on GitHub can find a couple examples like dotenv [1] and npm's cli [2] both use it via an older version of nodejs/readable-stream [3].
There's also the classic left-pad debacle - https://github.com/left-pad/left-pad/issues/4

Serverless Containers vs Serverless Next.js SSR on AWS, GCP and Vercel
when using some other modern libraries like tailwind, you have to update the Next.js version carefully or you may have some errors following the Next.js update. Nothing new in javascript world, if something is working it's not guaranteed it will last :) It is important to really read the Next.js release notes as the base configuration may change in between the releases.

This resume got me an interview!
It's OK, it's reddit, it happens. I will say however that unless you are deploying to a windows server on premise somewhere you are using open source. (And soon even that won't be true because eventually Windows is going to be based on Linux.) I'm not asking people to give up their weekends or anything, but IMO if you consume open source, you have an obligation to contribute back something. Even if it's just reporting a bug on some library that you use.

Funny story, on the day that they unpublished it, the package.json states the license to be "WTFPL", which allows NPM to Do What The Fuck You Want To
