I’m not a professional programmer, but I do program for my own needs, my older sister is a professional, and obviously I hang out with a lot of programmers between Reddit/HN/Lesswrong/#lesswrong. My subjective sense is that there’s a lot of truth to the turnover claim, although I don’t know how much or how one would rigorously test such a claim.
Good point, thanks. Are you a programmer? If so, is this your subjective sense for what’s going on?
