Is there even such a thing as a github influencer (people living just from github)?

>>siva7+H6
People working in DevRel often aggregate developer oriented content and gain popularity that way, an example would be "swyx" for example. I'm not taking a dump on his work, but you can see the Github influencer effect over there.

I didn't even know Shawn had a popular GitHub, though he has written about the meta-creator ceiling before: https://www.swyx.io/meta-creator-ceiling

yeah i also am surprised that people use the follow feature for my work even tho i dont run a popular oss project.

well idk what "github influencer" even means but fwiw i am not "people living just from github". ive never taken a dime of github sponsor money. as far as github is concerned i just put my stuff up for free and the github stars program gets me an early look into new features so i can give them feedback. (eg i helped with Hey GitHub before the big launch at GH Universe).

obviously i'll happily ambassador github to anyone who will listen but who isnt already on github here
