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.

Me: "I'm going to learn rust for Advent of code!" Also me:
To be fair, compared to other years, only Elixir (last year) was more frustrating to learn than Rust (such that it does look like the picture above, due to many prototypes and all visualisation code being written in Python). I used Kotlin in 2020 and did Go for 2018 (though I didn't participate in that one live). I'm using C# this year, and all of these were simple enough that I didn't need to spend more time learning how to do things than actually doing them.

Advent of Code 2022
AoC is one of my favorite events of the year! I find the puzzles generally approachable, but interesting enough to spend time on. I also like that there's a definitively right answer, which motivates me in an interesting way. I've developed a base class over the years that handles input parsing, so I can focus more on the solutions themselves.
Additionally I've been solving for a number of years, but for the past 2 years, I've done a daily explanation of the solution. I use interesting parts of the Python stdlib and walk readers through common algorithms. I've found it _incredibly_ rewarding and plan on doing it again this year.
You can see all of those solutions here: https://github.com/xavdid/advent-of-code/tree/main/solutions
Please let me know if you enjoy reading these, I love hearing from folks!

Nice! This was basically the same as my solution, but mine was much more verbose.

Advent of Code 2021
AoC is one of my favorite events of the year. I find the puzzles to be much more approachable than things like Project Euler. I regularly credit my yearly participation for making me a better programmer.
I also do a daily writeup of my solution, which helps make sure I understand the problem and help others who are learning. I found it super rewarding last year, so I'm doing it again this year. They're in my GH repo. Here's today's: https://github.com/xavdid/advent-of-code/tree/main/solutions...
My big tip is that you probably don't need to worry about competing for the leaderboard (unless you really want to). Go at your own pace, don't stay up weird hours, and take a break.
