This is just another example of why I’d like to see some kind of platform that requires “skin in the game” to make these kinds of actions.<p>For GitHub, I’m not quite sure how that would work, but perhaps for a Medium type platform, you’d have to verify that you’ve read someone’s writings before you can follow them.
This is great! I can imagine this repository will be quite popular as it feeds into the developers ego (including mine).
I wonder how much development is not fueled by ideals about giving back but instead about chasing stars.<p>Edit: Removed already, I did wonder how Github would allow this!
