So, I guess the post has been sort of banned from HN as I cannot see it either on Hacker News trending/new/show pages. It was trending on the front page for quite some time, just sometime ago (so obviously it wasn't downvoted into oblivion). I guess I will have to live with that :(

No worries, I totally understand :-)
I am so curious about your implementation, for instance, what sort of preprocessing did you have to carry out? I had written a script sometime back to analyze Paul Graham's essays (link: https://github.com/futureUnsure/pg-essay-lda), and had to remove date and times because they appeared a lot and distorted the top topics. I'm wondering if you had to do something similar for text that described code?
Also, did you write an LDA library yourself or did you leverage an existing library?
I apologize in advance if my questions sound naive/stupid, am just a noob...
