EigenCoder: Programming Stereotypes

Hey, man, you&#x27;d be sad too if you lived to see what modern man would do to programming languages:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.computerhistory.org&#x2F;fellowawards&#x2F;_media&#x2F;img&#x2F;fellows&#x2F;2004_niklaus_wirth.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.computerhistory.org&#x2F;fellowawards&#x2F;_media&#x2F;img&#x2F;fello...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kazimirmajorinc.com&#x2F;Documents&#x2F;Why-Dijkstra-didnt-like-Lisp&#x2F;McCarthy.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kazimirmajorinc.com&#x2F;Documents&#x2F;Why-Dijkstra-didnt-like...</a><p>The old guys wrote the best stuff:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cr.yp.to&#x2F;bib&#x2F;1995&#x2F;wirth.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cr.yp.to&#x2F;bib&#x2F;1995&#x2F;wirth.pdf</a>

In addition to the caveats they list, there may be systematic biases as to who includes a profile pic and who doesn&#x27;t. Even an enormous sample and perfect inferences from the face API can&#x27;t surmount a bad dataset (bad depending on what you are trying to learn from it)

R does give me a smile more often than most other languages (everything is just so easy), though I also have a big beard. Interesting article.

I felt I should point out that cpp is probably on the bottom end of the facial hair graph as a result of being on top of the age graph...

There&#x27;s only one conclusion to draw from the age data:<p>Somewhere between 50 and 60, software developers realize that their skill can be better put to work managing the retirement fund.

I chuckled when I saw that java programmers smile the least.

Do software engineers stop programming at 35?
