Re:90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars by brookst on Thursday March 26, 2026 @12:12AM (#47526572)
Meaningless is maybe too strong.

I have 60-ish repos, vast majority are zero star, one or two with a star or two, one with 25-ish. It’s a signal to me of interest in and usage of that project.

Doesn’t mean stars are perfect, or can’t be gamed, or anything in a universally true generalization sense. But also not meaningless.
