I'm always baffled whenever a GitHub repo trends on here. I would have guessed a list of files and a Readme would be the last thing that would trend.

GitHub projects trend on HN because a GitHub page is certainly not ‘just’ a ReadMe and a list of files, any more than a programming book is a just pile of paper and ink.

GitHub is one of the most valuable troves of information we have on the entire Internet, certainly - and represents countless hours of work from millions of people all over the world, openly contributing and sharing knowledge and tools with others, without the interest of profit.

I don’t think there are many other websites in the world that align with HN’s values more than GitHub. It’s almost invaluable to humanity.

Microsoft is using the code in GitHub to train their machine learning bots.

I guess the idea is that the bots can take over writing bug fixes for Windows.
