Re: Developer age

Because you're not a "partner".

These surveys essentially pick what they want as an outcome for promotion, and they don't have to try very hard to do it. Lets say you make "Super-Fresh-White-Blast" teeth cleaner, we'll they would then go around and open the front lobby door to every dentist office and yell "Who wants their teeth cleaned!", then on to the next door. Sometimes bribing the dentist comes into play, *if* the partners paid enough

For plausible deniability, these surveys always keep C at a flat line. To further that, they always state that the majority of developers are young, which is always the truth in anything creative (ie. there's more younger blacksmiths, painters, carpenters, etc.). The whole survey is a statement of the obvious with a toggle to the top for whoever paid, but make no mistake, the only "survey" undertaken was in editing.

P.S. HTML is a programming language... sure.
