It's daunting to think that a platform like GitHub could begin to become more like a social media platform where instant gratification and validation becomes the key metric, but I guess that will be unavoidable in an environment where popularity drives exposure.

I use GitHub explore more than I use an social feed admittedly (with Dev being a close second) and revel in the chance to read up on how something has been done in the real world. My experience as a "learner" is what motivates me to star repositories.

I have recently just opened up the source to an app I built, Skribul in hopes to receive feedback, teach what I've learned while building something that is "real world" usable. I'm proud of this small project and hope I can share knowledge with more and less experienced developers. Collaboration is more than welcomed.
