No, it wasn't. This is the antithesis of love. This is what "lovingly" hand-crafted READMEs look like:
https://github.com/sapcc/castellum https://github.com/sapcc/swift-http-import
None of that templated "please star if you like this" bullshit (your project's README is NOT the place to be explaining GitHub's UI), but all of the information that people actually need to use the program.
I just can't stand this phony corporate bullshiting about how "we at $ANONYMOUS_CORPORATION are your friends and want to help you succeed" that's just a plain lie everytime. It seems to be an American thing. When I interact with American managers, they're all about "being passionate about X" or whatever. The German managers are much more focused on the actual tasks, i.e. boring in all the good ways.
