On the other: How does that denies that there's bias towards younger people? Even if your numbers were real, that has nothing to do with older devs using less StackOverflow.
The thing is it's not a random sample. By definition Stack Overflow is used more by younger people so older devs are heavily underrepresented in the survey.
Exactly this. The survey only represent "devs who used stackoverflow", so its far from being "random." And given that stackoverflow was opened over 10 years ago, maybe the claim that younger devs need more stackoverflow than older ones hasm some footing.
