Quite a bit, as it turns out. We're talking more than just a trend; we're talking about a whole language evolving right before our eyes.

I didn't just stumble on this data while wandering the web. I dug deep into sources like Y Combinator portfolios and Crunchbase. You name it - Bloomberg, Product Hunt, GitHub - they were all part of my grand domain-ing quest.
