This is rather out of date and we've all moved past it. Me and Issac are cool now.

5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

• The hottest repositories created in the last week.
• The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
• Issue trends by language.
• Clojure projects defying convention.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

Peter van der Zee published this post on his personal blog and it was featured in this week's edition of JavaScript Weekly. The following sections each contain a piece of code copied directly from his post, followed by an irrefutable explanation of why it is either wrong or misleading.

EDIT, April 1, 2013: I've removed any harsh language, but the content and corrections remain the same.

These are facts.

Hi Michał,

Thanks for the email.

You're right that `[[` is not POSIX sh-compliant. Nor are the following

Hi, all. Sorry to be distant from the community recently. No excuse.

I thought I might share December stats from one of Apache CouchDB's most well-known deployments and killer apps: the Node.js npm registry.
