My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it’s shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.

If a bunch of the emoji don’t even make sense it can get in the bin.

I like putting the little pictures in my readmes sometimes. In my biologically generated repositories. Please don’t discriminate against neat little pictures you can just put in text 🐑.

me too!

admittedly imo they are being overused now though
