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.

Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer: already time for retirement?
While the security findings can be pretty elaborate and helpful, the code quality and performance focused findings are not that impressive and can often be detected by more basic or powerful tools like SonarQube (paying) or PMD (free). To see what I mean you can have a look at the list of Java code quality detectors, which is pretty short and contains a lot of simple findings like:
-
Code Review for Flows
Also saw this convo has a couple years worth of ideas going on … https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3413
-
Custom Gradle Plugin for Unified Static Code Analysis
PMD and Checkstyle are static analysis tools that check your code on each project build. Gradle allows to apply them easily.
-
Spring Boot – Black Box Testing
The generated classes should be put into .gitignore. Otherwise, if you have Checkstyle, PMD, or SonarQube in your project, then generated classes can violate some rules. Besides, if you don't put them into .gitignore, then each pull request might become huge due to the fact that even a slightest fix can lead to lots of changes in the generated classes.

Code smell plugin
PMD, and checkstyle as well.

Writing Clean and Consistent Code with Static Analysis using PMD and Apex
Open up the config/ruleset.xml file, and you’ll find an XML document that lists several rules. These rules map to the issues which PMD will report on. Believe it or not, there are hundreds of Apex rules, and you can find the full set at the PMD repo. You have complete control over which rules to enable. Typically, you’d determine which ones are important by agreeing with your teammates on the ones that matter most. After all, their code will be statically analyzed, too!

Is there a tool to track CVEs for the software that we use?
While at it you could also point them to static code analyzers such as error_prone, spotbugs and pmd (use all 3 at once - they complement each other in detecting different issues).

Ask HN: Anyone use a code to mindmap/flowchart tool?
I wish something existed in this space. I used Coati Software's Sourcetrail for a couple of years. Unfortunately it was discontinued. It was a wonderful piece of software that indexed a code repository, and exposed an interface to explore it interactively. At least for me, it significantly improved the understanding and legibility of code.
The code is in an archived state (https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail). Searching for the software on Google shows some screenshots.

Ask HN: What would an IDE built for the Apple Vision Pro look like?
I think it might make large scale code visualization in a similar way to how SourceTrail does it more feasible: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

Tools to understand a new code base
I've used https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail in the past for some bits of the legacy code project I'm on. I also use vim and cscope for day to day navigation but it's harder to get a big picture with those alone.
- Is there a site or extension where to learn C++ by doing, learning more visually?

Tools for Building Symbol Tables from A Source Code File
Sourcetrail?

A Byfrost Indexer Update-A Graphing Demo
Does it strive to do what Sourcetrail used to ?

How to understand a c++ project
You could always try using Sourcetrail. Unfortunately the open source project is now archived but it should still help you get insights into your code.
What are some alternatives?
Spotbugs - SpotBugs is FindBugs' successor. A tool for static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.
SonarQube - Continuous Inspection
Checkstyle - Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.
Error Prone - Catch common Java mistakes as compile-time errors
infer - A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C
Gource - software version control visualization
FindBugs - The new home of the FindBugs project
SonarJava - :coffee: SonarSource Static Analyzer for Java Code Quality and Security
code2flow - Pretty good call graphs for dynamic languages
