GitHub Dominates 27,900 of 38,276 Tech Signals (73%)
GitHub accounts for 73% of tech signals. npm (2,151) and PyPI (1,525) are better proxies for real adoption.
Why it matters
The perception of what is hot in tech is heavily shaped by GitHub (27,900 records, 73%). StackOverflow (5,400, 14%), npm (2,151, 6%), PyPI (1,525, 4%) and HackerNews (1,300, 3%) provide complementary signals. npm and PyPI represent real adoption via downloads, not just interest. CTOs should cross-reference GitHub trending with package manager downloads before adopting.
