nixos-beginners-handbook VS star-history

This is a pretty good example the kind of victim blaming I'm talking about. It's a kind of insidious toxicity that permeates certain communities, although I've not been able to put my finger on what exactly brings it out, or why it's so tightly clung to as an acceptable behavior in some places.

I actually tried to help for awhile, and even started a help guide https://github.com/kstenerud/nixos-beginners-handbook/

But eventually one gets ground down and demoralized enough to just give up. It's a real shame, because I LOVE what NixOS is trying to accomplish.

That’s a great project you pulled off. From the time I starred it (10-12h ago I think), and upon re-checking this post, you gained 500+ stars lol.

You can actively see a fresh "hype curve" in the transformer-debugger repo that was posted a couple days ago (https://github.com/openai/transformer-debugger) (star history https://star-history.com/#openai/transformer-debugger&Date).

Regardless of the repo's stars or how valuable it really is, at the time I saw it posted to HN, it had 1.6k stars/16 hours. What channel are people listening to to star it so quickly. I'm not implying any nefariousness, mind you, I'm only wondering where all the stargazers were referred from so fast and in such volume.

I’ve been releasing open-source projects for years now, and I’ve always wanted to see how fast my Github repo is growing compared to other successful repositories on https://star-history.com/. The problem is that on Star History, I’m unable to zoom into the graph, so a new repo that has 1,000 stars cannot be compared with a big repo that has 50,000 because you can’t see how the bigger repo does in its beginning. So, I asked GPT Pilot to build this functionality. It scrapes Github repos for stargazers, saves them into the database, plots them on a graph, and enables the graph to be zoomed in and out.
