Developer validation Memes

The hierarchy of developer validation is hilariously backwards. 1000 Instagram followers? Meh. 100 Twitter followers? Whatever. 5 Reddit followers? Now we're talking. But 1 GitHub follower? ABSOLUTE GODMODE ACTIVATED. That single GitHub follower means someone actually values your code enough to stalk your digital creations. It's like having a secret admirer who's into your algorithms instead of your looks. Essentially the programming equivalent of being chosen by the cool kids. Meanwhile, your mom still thinks you "fix computers" for a living.
