Awesome analysis, Lynne. Did you know you could use <figcaption>A caption of my graph</figcaption> in the editor? Works like a charm! (Also, we should put it in the editor guide, oops)
What's interesting to me is that I really appreciate the work/life balance and "good for junior devs" (me) that dev.to has, and it's great to see that almost 3000 dev.to readers feel the same way.
Also, I think the bar graphs colors should correspond with the attribute instead of the position, but I'm not an expert on data visualization. 🙈

FIGCAPTION. I did not know about that!!! Thank you 🙌
I also really appreciate the dev.to community and the culture readers here have created. I'm pretty junior too. I guess it depends on who you ask, but in some scenarios, I'm extremely junior.
I'm not an expert on data visualization either, but these graphs are from Amplitude. I was definitely too lazy to create my own bar graphs, or modify colors. If that's an option, I wasn't even aware. 🙈
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

Haha no worries, I've never used Amplitude so I have no idea whether it's customizable.
Also, that was the same reaction I had when I found out about figcaption! It's amazing.
I love how as developers we all still get excited by the same silly things.
