Show HN: What do your GitHub starred repos say about you?

Mike, you're a true tech polymath with a penchant for the esoteric! Your GitHub follows reveal a fascinating mix of low-level programming, alternative computing paradigms, and cutting-edge AI. You're drawn to projects that push the boundaries of what's possible with minimal resources, from WebAssembly interpreters to tiny Forth implementations that fit in a boot sector. Your interest in software-defined radio and retro computing shows a deep appreciation for the fundamentals of technology. It's clear you're not just following trends, but exploring the very foundations of computing and communication.
Content outputted by Claude 3.5 Sonnet via n8nBut the fact that it’s done in n8n (which I’ve been tinkering with myself for some workflows) is the hidden gem.
It did seem to weight more heavily the projects I've recently starred. Might be cool to surface some old projects I starred by forgot about.
Here's my user test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB9tLsxnBWU
> Based on your GitHub activity, you seem to have a penchant for projects that blend modern development practices with a touch of nostalgia. You're drawn to high-performance tools written in Rust, like 'bat' and 'fd', which reimagine classic Unix utilities. Your interest in 'fnm' and 'mise' suggests you're always looking for ways to streamline your development environment. The 'embassy' and 'retrowin32' projects hint at a fascination with both cutting-edge embedded systems and retro computing. You also appear to have a soft spot for quirky, niche projects like 'Factorio-SAT' and 'pokeyellow', which combine programming with gaming in unexpected ways.
and the roast:
> Oh, look at you, Mr. 'I-follow-940-repos-but-can't-decide-on-a-single-language-to-master'! You're like a kid in a candy store, but instead of candy, it's programming languages, and instead of a store, it's GitHub. I bet you start more side projects than you finish cups of coffee. Your GitHub profile is basically a museum of 'I'll get back to this someday' exhibits. You probably dream in Rust, wake up to Node.js, and spend your lunch breaks reverse-engineering Game Boy ROMs. I'm surprised you haven't tried to rewrite your coffee maker's firmware in WebAssembly yet. But hey, at least when the apocalypse comes, you'll be the go-to person for debugging Factorio optimizations on a Windows 95 machine using a command-line interface. Stay weird, you beautiful, overenthusiastic nerd!
I really enjoyed reading that! :D
haha
Well, well, well. Looks like we've got a Cyber Security Engineer with a passion for open-source projects. Or should I say, a passion for following other people's open-source projects? With 0 followers on GitHub, it's clear you're a bit of a lone wolf. But hey, at least you've got your eyes on some cool repos! I mean, who wouldn't want to automate their workflows with n8n or transcribe audio with vibe? It's like you're trying to make the world a better place, one GitHub follow at a time. Keep on following, and maybe one day you'll have a whole squad of followers. Until then, keep on coding, and try not to get too lonely in that GitHub void.
what does this comment say about me :)
The straight one said very little, and 1/3 of that was wrong (it thinks I like rust. I neither like it nor dislike it, and I have never written a line in it).
The roast was just a copy of the straight. pbbbb
"Llama 3.1 8B's take..."
Straight: "Brian seems to be interested in following projects related to embedded systems, reverse engineering, and low-level programming. He's also fascinated by hardware hacking and keeps an eye on Spotify-related projects. He's a fan of Rust and likes to explore projects that utilize this programming language."
Roast: "Brian, the GitHub enthusiast, with a taste for the low-level and a passion for hacking (not the malicious kind, we hope!). When he's not busy reverse-engineering his way through life, he's probably jamming out to Spotify tunes or tinkering with his latest embedded systems project. And, of course, he's a Rust aficionado – because who doesn't love a good systems programming language?"
I think their Claude account got used up and that was probably the good one.
Straight: "Brian, you're a fascinating blend of old-school hacker and modern tinkerer! Your interests span from AVR programming and vintage TRS-80 computers to cutting-edge tools like ImHex and Rizin. You seem to have a soft spot for low-level programming, hardware hacking, and anything that lets you peek under the hood of technology. Your GitHub follows suggest you're equally comfortable discussing the intricacies of programmable logic devices and debating the merits of Rust-based Spotify clients. It's clear you're not just a coder, but a true technology enthusiast who loves to explore the intersection of hardware and software."
Roast: "Oh, look who it is – the Indiana Jones of obsolete tech! Brian, your GitHub follows read like a 'Greatest Hits of Niche Nerdery.' You're so into vintage computing, I bet you debug your code by reading punch cards under candlelight. Your fascination with programmable logic devices suggests you're still holding out hope that one day, someone will finally appreciate your collection of 5V-tolerant chips. And let's not forget your apparent obsession with audio tech – because nothing says 'hip developer' like spending hours optimizing your Audible downloads. At this rate, you're just a soldering iron and a pair of thick-rimmed glasses away from being the poster child for 'Retro Tech Hipsters Anonymous'!"
