As I suspected, they are like me: they are all older people who are sensitive about their ages. We have no data on actual senior developers under the age of 18 out of ~6000 survey responses in the US. PayScale does not use age in finding related salaries, and we do not require people to answer this (or any other) question, to get a report. At the 1 in 1000 level, people don't realize this, so give a bogus answer instead of no answer, as you see here. Our salary reporting mechanisms take this into account, so these non and bogus answers do not significantly affect the results. By the way, we really do have over 2,000,000 completed surveys. Because our site is only in English currently, these are predominately from English speaking countries. In the US, the data represents ~1% of all employees, in the Canada and Australia about 1/2%, in the UK about 1/4%, and it falls off from there.

You are good, or you created something and it got bought from you (winamp comes to mind) I see nothing wrong with that information. Tyler - Think about that information for a second

These companies need a real plan to generate revenue. Revenue that grows at a healthy pace while staying above expenses is the key to a healthy company. I hope Mike has read that post, and that we will see more information on the revenue models of these companies. Kris, I agress with you whole heartedly; see my comment above.
