To me, who rarely pulls up SO, correlating SO questions and page views with usage is a bit biased.

You've got more chance of writing the novel.

That was similar to my thinking. I chuckled a bit when I saw so much of what I think folks would consider corporate tool-sets like VBA being used in the day compared to like Haskell (that I've never seen in the professional world but know several people that hack around in it) being written at night. Kind of a fun chart.

And also, languages with good documentation will be referred to less on SO.

Seems to me like a perfectly reasonable correlation. During the day people might stumble on a problem that they aren't sure how to handle. They search that problem in google and end up in SO.
You might not be an average SO user?

I'm torn between laughing and crying; having used VBA extensively in the past.
I've used VBA for stupid things like Excel based apps (not stupid at the time, but in hindsight there was a better way) and stupid things like HMI software with VBA hooks (GE Fanuc Cimplicity, in case you were wondering).

Except in his 5th chart (the animated one), all the enterprise technologies and Haskell all pulsed up in the morning and afternoon local time, while Haskell was the only one to also pulse up in the evening. In fact, Haskell's evening pulse was smaller than its daytime pulse.

It's more of a problem for the "morning people" hypothesis. There's an alternative hypothesis that people work on something, get stuck, think about it overnight and are more likely to decide to ask a question in the morning.
