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

Yeah there's a preposterous amount of JavaScript that gets loaded because I'm too lazy to rewrite the interactive graphics. Sorry :(

#13Do software engineers stop programming at 35?
Hopefully not :) Check the "Density" tab to see eg. 53 year old programmers recorded for C# and Python.
Even better, looks like there are a few programmers (CPP and HTML) >60 years old, though the graph shows n=0 for those data points, so do those guys actually exist? If so, the oldest programmer is 86.4, now that's impressive.

#14I 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...

#15In addition to the caveats they list, there may be systematic biases as to who includes a profile pic and who doesn't. Even an enormous sample and perfect inferences from the face API can't surmount a bad dataset (bad depending on what you are trying to learn from it)

#17I chuckled when I saw that java programmers smile the least.

Happened to me on Firefox 45.0 on Windows.
But when I restarted it gave a popup saying there was an unresponsive script and asking if I wanted to stop it.

To be fair, they did address that:

Older programmers are probably less likely to use Github.
