If you’d asked reasonably, I might have noted the slight correction (I misremembered that data collection ended January 2026, not March).

But since you’re such a charmer, why did you read the word “mostly” then lie about me lying?

It’s unambiguously true that most of the data (including that on coding agents) is from 2025 and earlier.

Mostly 2025 and before means mostly 2025 and before…

Mostly, meaning “more than half”, or perhaps “noticeably more than half”, both of which are literally true.

Do we speak different versions of English or something? I’m genuinely past being annoyed, I don’t actually know why you think what I’m saying is false.
