It reduces the amount of information? So you would prefer the wrong information instead? You're pretending OP tried to make a better graph, when clearly he only wanted to show the inaccuracy of the Nielsen graph. Are you trolling?

Contrary to popular believe in our community, many programmers are of average intelligence, discipline and curiosity. Haskell (as well as plenty of other technologies) will be too much effort for this group. Is this a taboo? Or elitist? I w

Buddhist monks and the pursuit of a career are to me a weird match, but an inversion of values is not an uncommon marketing approach. As for the design: it's not consistent enough just yet, do you know what you want? Right now you're mixing
