This looks like a very nice dataviz job but it’s not an artist role…

As always, the decision whether to start at axis at zero is a complex one. Here’s a great discussion: www.chadskelton.com/2018/06/bar-...
Bar charts should always start at zero. But what about line charts?
If there's one thing almost everyone agrees on in data visualization, it's that bar charts should start at zero . Starting them anywhere e...

I work in data visualisation. It’s absolutely the case that bar charts should start at zero but line charts don’t have to. See this ONS blog: digitalblog.ons.gov.uk/2016/06/27/d...

Ofc this is also a potential privacy risk if you’re working with sensitive data so use appropriately.

The main advantage, apart from less faff and finger strain, is that the AI has access to your full environment, so knows what’s in your dataframe, what objects you’ve created etc. No more long queries that start ‘I have a dataframe, df’ 😂
