What percentage of GitHub activity goes to GitHub repos with less than 2 stars? I would guess it's close to the same number.

My reaction as well -- I have a few dozen public repos of 100% human-written code, most are 0 stars!

#13I have a star on one of my repos. Almost all of my work is only relevant to me or is internal to my org.

#14Maybe because people are using claude to to write code for themselves, to scratch their own itch, and upload it to the world just because. The value of code can't be measured in star counts.

The first thing I do when I make a new repo is star it myself ;-)

#16Did we democratise software engineering? Seriously, I created a bunch of tools that I find useful without the bloated framework issues that are present in software nowadays. Jokes on me if something does not work.

#17Even if that stat were compared directly to the base rate (human output), it could easily be explained by correlating strongly with Claude usage skewing towards new repos.

The actual number is that 98% have less than 2 stars (0 or 1). About 90.25% has zero stars.
