| May 24, 2018 at 16:33 | comment | added | Beofett | It's been close to two decades since I've had to deal with messy roommates, but I find those questions interesting because A) it reminds me of some fun times in my life, and B) I have relevant experience that I can share on the topic. | |

| May 24, 2018 at 1:18 | comment | added | Jesse | Do we have any information on how well questions from a distinctively older perspective are received? "Bad" reception would imply that this issue needs more attention and "Good" reception would imply that we should focus purely on the numbers, and that more questions from this perspective would be beneficial to the site. | |

| May 23, 2018 at 22:25 | comment | added | HDE 226868 Mod | This is especially true for IPS because we don't have as much of an established community, like ELU does. Much of our traffic comes from the Hot Network Questions list and other sites. If our community continues to grow and develop, it's possible we'll see organic demographic growth in the higher age brackets. | |
| May 23, 2018 at 22:24 | comment | added | HDE 226868 Mod | The demographics of Stack Overflow - as shown in the results of the 2018 Developer Survey - are skewed sharply towards the younger end of the spectrum, with ~75% of the respondents being under 35 years old. 7% of respondents were 45 or older. In general, since so much of our traffic comes from Stack Overflow, as goes SO, so goes the rest of the network. I would assume that our demographics aren't significantly different. In the absence of additional data, your observations make sense. | |
