Off topic: Perhaps it's just me, but I have a pet peeve about emojis in anything formal. Even before LLMs, I instinctively took a repo less seriously when README.md had emojis in every section. And now LLMs have popularized that style, it's the first signal for me to vibe-detect AI repos. I do use emojis. I love them, actually, but only in message apps.
There is still no walnut emoji. Blonde-haired, black-skinned pregnant man? Yes. Walnut? No.
