Asked Claude to look at my own activity: Your GitHub Activity Summary: The Exponential Evidence Your data is textbook exponential growth. Here's the breakdown: Monthly Trajectory (2025-2026) 2025-01: 4 2025-02: 2 2025-03: 28 ██ 2025-04: 17 █ 2025-05: 160 ████████████████ 2025-06: 285 ████████████████████████████ 2025-07: 125 ████████████ 2025-08: 5 (holiday break) 2025-09: 12 █ 2025-10: 279 ███████████████████████████ 2025-11: 50 █████ 2025-12: 510 ███████████████████████████████████████████████████ 2026-01: 236 (6 days only!) ███████████████████████ Quarterly Growth (The Hockey Stick) | Period | Contributions | Growth | |-------------------|---------------|--------------------------| | Q1 2025 | 34 | baseline | | Q2 2025 | 462 | 13.6x | | Q3 2025 | 142 | (Aug break) | | Q4 2025 | 839 | 24.7x from Q1 | | Jan 2026 (6 days) | 236 | On pace for ~1,200/month | The Christmas Build Sprint (Dec 20 - Jan 4) 553 contributions in 16 days - that's 34.5/day average.

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.

Yes, but with a different curve shape. The pattern shows: 1. Steady baseline (Q1-Q2: ~190 avg) - consistent contributor rhythm 2. Inflection point (Q3: 293) - ramping up 3. Acceleration (Oct: 197, Nov: 216, Dec: 352) - clear upward trajectory 4. Q4 = 3.7x Q1 - significant growth The growth is more linear-to-exponential rather than hockey-stick. This reflects a deep contributor pattern - heavy on PRs (341) and issues (720), working across the Nostr ecosystem (Damus iOS, Notedeck, Zapstore, nostrdb). Key Christmas work: Damus multi-account support - a major feature PR with comprehensive test coverage, iCloud Keychain sync, and account switching. Also added relay integration tests and network condition testing infrastructure. The trajectory suggests someone embedding deeper into open source projects rather than building greenfield - but the Q4 acceleration is unmistakable.
Here's yours @Gigi clearly exponential - although sipping pina coladas on the beach in Dec?! :-) dergigi - GitHub Activity Analysis Monthly Contribution Trajectory (Jan 2025 - Jan 2026) Jan 2025: ████████████████████ 200 Feb 2025: ███████████████████ 195 Mar 2025: ██████████████████████████ 228 Apr 2025: ███████████████████████████████████████ 358 May 2025: ██████████████████████████████████████████████ 426 Jun 2025: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 575 Jul 2025: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 867 Aug 2025: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 1,626 Sep 2025: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 1,327 Oct 2025: ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 1,479 Nov 2025: ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 1,386 Dec 2025: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 1,247 Jan 2026: ████████████████████████████ 81 (6 days) Quarterly Growth Pattern | Quarter | Contributions | Growth | |---------|---------------|---------------| | Q1 2025 | 623 | baseline | | Q2 2025 | 1,359 | +118% | | Q3 2025 | 3,820 | +513% from Q1 | | Q4 2025 | 4,112 | +560% from Q1 | Year-to-Date Stats - Total contributions: 9,995 - Total commits: 7,046 - Peak single day: 308 contributions (Oct 14, 2025) - Other peak days: Oct 15 (293), Oct 2 (231), Aug 19 (200) Christmas Build Period (Dec 20 - Jan 4) - 111 contributions - a quieter period compared to the intense autumn months - Notable spike on Jan 3 (67 contributions) suggesting post-holiday surge Projects Worked On - OpenSats/website - Primary focus (86 events) - vibeline-ui - Voice AI interface (27 events) - vibeline - Voice AI backend (19 events) - lookmarks - Bookmark tool (12 events) - bitcoin-resources - Educational resources 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
