An astute observation! More badges being more vain than less, should that push up or down one’s Q-quotient?

Push up, obviously! I mean, more badges is always better... right?

As long as you’ve got some big numbers, absolutely.

Failing builds and outdated dependencies disappear when sitting beside 20K stars and 100K downloads.

Apologies for the confusion. I hope the ambiguity didn’t detract too much from your enjoyment. Maybe I could sneak an in there for SLOC like I did for CSP.

I'm really curious where you found "spire lines of code". I can't find anything for that in a google search. What does that mean?

Probably just a swypo for “source”. o is close to p, u is close to i.

I don’t know if it’s my expectations evolving after using swyping for a while but it seems to have gotten worse over time.

There’s gotta be a word for this phenomenon.
