    I would suspect that grandparent knew exactly the meaning of "incredible", as it is just very difficult to believe that this graph represents anything more than what people use SO and github ;)

      I suspect that somid3 was simply being emphatic. Actually, the graph is a gross distortion rather than difficult to believe -- see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4516651 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4516651

        Yes, I read that and was referring to this exactly, but somewhat jokingly. I just thought that "incredible" could be a more polite way to say "useless"...

          >> "incredible" could be << ... enthusiastic - like "terrific" "fantastic". What somid3 meant is not at all clear.
