    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.

      Ahhh idk, I saw a lot of genuine repos do emojis, at least for headings. Even before LLMs.

      I like them 'cause with the right amount, it makes a README easier to parse when quickly scrolling over it.

        As an ancient husk of a person, it all looks crack-addled to me. I don’t really see how you can parse out headings from emoji because their usage isn’t consistent.

      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 🐑.
