  • Taylor Otwell lol.. He has some pretty dope cars in his garage and is doing well.

    I follow him on GitHub, and pay for some of his products. I have been heavily influenced by his coding styles, and the tools he uses. His code just looks so tight and perfect. He writes his stuff so open ended and reusable that he basically writes a method once, and then reuses it across numerous projects.

    Look at this tight code: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/10.x/src/Illuminat...

    I’d say that Adam Wathan is rapidly growing his influence as well, and is probably doing alright too.

    love and appreciate your work as well adam (everyone check out Corecursive https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... )

    i honestly dont even view my github readme as "marketing yourself". most pple dont even go to an individual's profile in the first place, but if you do its kinda like a cute little myspace thing where you can let people know you as a human being and be a little quirky. i certainly dont hold myself out as an authority on code and hey if 40k stars on the react-typescript stuff doesnt count i'm alright with that

  • In my experience, it's actually a great signal. That's why so many people rely on it. The distribution of GitHub stars is an extreme power law.[1] Stargazer thresholds are used by maintainers to make decisions on including projects for different purposes from dependency management to package manager maintainers deciding to list software by name.
