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.

I Prefer Makefiles over Package.json Scripts
Nowadays there's Windows Subsystem for Linux. There's no excuse not to successfully run "Linux" scripts on Windows.
I've been running very complex build systems via https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform (disclaimer: author here) since 2016 on Linux, Mac and Windows without a problem.

Autodocumenting Makefiles
This is exactly my experience which lead me to create https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform - with a consistent make interface https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform/tree/master/build.m...
PS: quite feature complete but not yet well marketed so to speak. I'm actually recording an asciinema session this week in order for a visitor to grasp quicker the mentioned benefits.

Cloud, why so difficult? 🤷♀️
To "meet developers where they are" is a beautiful tenet of AWS, and of the CDK, and inspired us to create awesome technology such as JSII and constructs.

Projecting templating with CDK
I agree with constructs, I recommend using both (article mentions). Create your template, you might have various CDK constructs (community, AWS, personal), the template will produce a full project how you / your org want it. This might include your github actions for linting, cdk synth, testing, deployment etc. Application source (Lambda, API, container etc). Anyone in your team or external should be able to take that template and produce a project that is the same.

Dagger: a new way to build CI/CD pipelines
Have you heard of or explored https://github.com/aws/constructs (related: https://github.com/aws/jsii and https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk)?
This is what CDK uses for declarative modeling, but gives the opportunity to use languages/tooling that most devs are already familiar with. CDK8s already uses it as a replacement for yaml (technically, the yaml becomes an implementation detail rather than actually replaced)

Projen: The Next CDK Suprise!
All CDKs are based on Amazon's Constructs, (which also uses projen). They come with a CLI and Development Kit (API). In short, you set up an Object in code and then synthesize the representation to disk. This opens up the full power of programming languages. If you are sick of the issues with terraform, CloudFormation Templates, troposphere, Azure Blue Prints, or the like then this is for you.
