Louis Abraham's interactive visualization analyzing 467,387 documents (52.5M word occurrences, weekly granularity from 2025-01 to 2026-08) to trace when and how the characteristic vocabulary of Claude-written pull requests appeared and diffused across GitHub. A single-file page with all data inlined — HN 703 points. Fascinating both as a data point on AI-written code volume and as a specimen of readable data journalism.
