The article is serious. But I'm guessing there is either something subtle wrong in the analysis (they even find Go programmers who use spaces earn more, which makes no sense given that 99% of Go programmers use tabs), or it's some kind of weird selection bias, given that it the sample is self-selected.

just because it was not posted on april 1st, it doesnt make the article serious.

they are publishing a very limited, informal, unscientific, survey and having fun drawing outlandish conclusions.

if you think this was serious in any way you may want to bring back pirates to counter global warming.
