This is not another humor post, but just a comparison between the searches on the terms C# and Ruby using Google Trends.

Apart from the number of searches on the term C# which are double the ones on the term Ruby, it’s funny to notice the trend in the various days of the weeks: Ruby stays constant throughout all the week, while C# drops to half the volume during weekends. There might be a few explanations for this:

1. Ruby is used by people that don’t have a personal life and spend the weekend developing stuff
2. C# is used by people that develop only on their 9-5, Mon-Fri job

Any other guess?
