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.

My changelog generation tools output emojis because our lives are too short to not use 🚀
