Is this data normalised to account for differences in traffic/popularity of the HN platform between 2008 - 2024?
Reason being: If the distributions of user types have changed over time (e.g. 2010 having a higher % of more entrepreneurial / founder type users vs employee-type fokls [like myself] looking for their next gig) then it could skew the results no?
Anecdotally the graph makes total sense. I'd just take the absolute ratio/differences with a pinch of salt.
