We are nerds, after all. Here's the most striking thing about the statistics of this post: the average "age when started programming" is 13. Think of how many 10-year-olds there must be in the data to balance out the occasional person who started mid-career.

No because the sample is biased. People who read stackoverflow are nerds and more incline to have begin programming early and mid-career starters are more incline to not read it.
