> Well the repo description is "World's most dumbest Load Balancer", which might count for something

Amongst the synonyms for "dumb"[0] is "simple" and is used commonly as such.

A definition of "simple" is[1]:

  easy to understand, deal with, use, etc.:
  a simple matter; simple tools.
The GitHub repo[2] has as its project URI the leaf segment "simplelb"[2].

The first non-title line of the GitHub repo[2] reads thusly:

  Simple LB is the simplest Load Balancer
  ever created.
Nowhere in the README.md are the words "educational", "production", "research", or "fun."

All of this is to say, what "might count for something" may not be what the author intends.
