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.

Pipexec – Handling pipe of commands like a single command
I use mutlios and even I'm not that attached to it. The majority of my use is combined with process substitution, and could be replaced with common-ish tools like pee¹ or pipexec for more complex cases. The only occasion when I'm thankful for it is if I want to use a shell function as a target, but there are workarounds for that too.
As a noclobber user the footgun is largely hidden to me, but I feel its presence. multios without globbing support would be less useful, but would still work for most of my use cases. Scanning my shell history I see various cases of relying on zsh's ability to apply sorting and filtering to globs with multios' input redirection, but only a couple where I want that in output redirection.
Even with multios unset the behaviour is different between zsh and bash. For example, multios disables all the expansion, so zsh behaves like more like dash with ': >t{1,2}' by creating a file instead producing an error like bash does.
[FWIW, I google'd multiios to link the option in original comment. It really feels to me like it needs double-i, and I read the single i name the same way you do.]

I'd be one of those people whose desire for dgsh-like functionality wanes. If it was slight DSL that I could "upgrade" pipelines to I'd probably use it, but not enough to warrant working on it or switching other tooling to support it.
The end of result of this morning's pipeline was breaking my jobs up, and applying some judicious use of nq² to keep track of it. I'd follow your advice and move on to more specialist tools if the job grew significantly or if it became a regular occurrence.

The shell and its crappy handling of whitespace
For filesystem operations like batch renames at least, I am usually happy with `vidir` (part of `moreutils`: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/).
`vidir [path]` will open an editor with the given directory as buffer contents.

See also: "vipe" from the excellent "moreutils" package: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/
There are some other gems in this package. The ones I find myself using regularly are 'ts' and 'sponge' but I'm sure the useful subset depends a lot on the kind of work you are doing

Vim Keybindings Everywhere – The Ultimate List
Joey Hess' excellent moreutils¹ comes with vipe which is a generalised solution for these types of tasks. It allows you to run whatever $EDITOR you've configured mid-pipe, making it possible to work your changes up in an interactive editor session. Useful for those of us not smart enough to write up our changes as a series of -c arguments ;)
(It fixes the vim issue by virtue of using a temporary file to do the magic)

vimv has not only changed my workflow, it changed my life
Sounds like `vidir` from moreutils.

vidir and a few others from moreutils

Use pee (yes, I know) from moreutils. Something like:

How to re-order the strings of a filename in bulk?
I would use vidir from moreutils. Then you can do any edits and play around with any regexes you want!
-
Should i learn file management using terminal?
For bulk file renaming, I recommend vidir from moreutils - it lets you rename everything in a directory with your $EDITOR (vim being the default).

A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams
It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...
-
Which 2nd language should I learn?
Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa

What's your favorite Go architecture for a new micro-service? Here's mine...
Try https://github.com/ogham/exa and exa -T -L2 command . It will generate a good folder structure tree to update the question

macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.
Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.
For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

List of apps I use every day - Version 2023
fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Ls with icons
Hi! I use this: https://the.exa.website, and the package to this: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/exa/

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.
What are some alternatives?
pipe-rename - Rename your files using your favorite text editor
lsd - The next gen ls command
atomicxt
colorls - A Ruby gem that beautifies the terminal's ls command, with color and font-awesome icons. :tada:
map.xplr - Visually inspect and interactively execute batch commands using xplr
fish-shell - The user-friendly command line shell.
lineselect - Shell utility to interactively select lines from stdin
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
fstring - Make searching for text strings easier on Linux :)
coreutils - Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
vidir - edit directory in $EDITOR (better than vim . with netrw)
bat - A cat(1) clone with wings.
