TMI: I'm stressed, in pain, behind on work, tired from caring for my partner, and I have a constant headache because my short range work glasses broke forcing me to use a much older pair.
You made me smile and laugh, so I'm grateful for you today. Thank you.
I think it would be handy to show what sloc is (spire lines of code). I had to look it up since I'm used to just loc and I could not get my brain to figure out the s this morning.
PPS. More seriously, the 47 stars on that little guide have a disproportionate impact on my happiness. Plus some of my most respected peers said it was useful to them. The lesson here is that you can meaningfully improve our software world without writing an ubiquitous and elegant framework or new language. Instead, people still need good curated content, guides that glue things together, and plain old documentation.
PPPS. So start writing gists and improve project documentation with PRs: I believe in you!

Thank you for reading and letting me know I’ve had a positive impact — it means a lot.
In good news, my new glasses got delivered today so I'm able to eliminate that literal and figurative headache :)
Maybe I could sneak an <abbr> in there for SLOC like I did for CSP.
There’s gotta be a word for this phenomenon.
I love it.
Now to figure out how to give my best gist[1] a million stars :D

And more importantly, helping other people out of the goodness of your heart.
Thank you for being so generous, fellow earthling!
More badges being more vain than less, should that push up or down one’s Q-quotient?
Failing builds and outdated dependencies disappear when sitting beside 20K stars and 100K downloads.
