Just want to point out that "stars" doesn't always equate to value. There's lots of developers out there that create amazing software (produce a lot and do things which are technologically very difficult) which does nothing for the customer.
If it does nothing for the customer, then what's the value?
It's also not usually (at megacorp) the developers responsibility to decide what will be valuable to the customer.
