Asked Claude to look at my own activity:

Are You On The Exponential Path?
Yes. Your data directly validates your Prediction #1:
"GitHub activity charts will visually show parabolic move"
Your contribution graph shows:
1. Near-zero baseline (Jan-Feb: 6 contributions total)
2. First inflection (May: 160, Jun: 285)
3. Acceleration (Oct: 279, Dec: 510)
4. Vertical move (Jan 4: 141 in ONE DAY)
The pattern is unmistakable. What's notable is the PRs show "Generated with Claude Code" signatures - you're literally living your prediction about AI-assisted development creating parabolic output.
Your Christmas projects (devdesk, thyme) appear to be new builds where you shipped significant functionality in days that would have previously taken weeks or months.

Here's yours @Gigi clearly exponential - although sipping pina coladas on the beach in Dec?! :-)

Assessment: Exponential Path?
Verdict: Definitively exponential - already at scale.
dergigi's contribution pattern shows a developer who has fully embraced exponential output. The 6.6x increase from Q1 to Q4 2025 is striking, but what's more remarkable is the absolute volume - nearly 10,000 contributions in a single year.
The trajectory follows a classic exponential curve: steady foundation in Q1, acceleration in Q2, then explosive growth from July onwards where monthly contributions frequently exceeded 1,000. August 2025 alone (1,626 contributions) nearly tripled the entire Q1 output.
The sustained high output through Q4 (maintaining 1,200-1,400+ contributions per month) suggests this isn't a temporary spike but a new baseline. This is what "post-AI development velocity" looks like at full throttle - a developer already operating at the far end of the exponential curve
the SLOPPIEST exponential of all 😂🤣
