Popularity has a price. A decade ago only hackers were exposed to
python who are happy to chat about the source code but these days
average computer users (my grandma) frequently come across python and
ask questions from a user perspective.

So I'd think your observation is correct that the ratio of source
related posts to non-source related posts on this list went down but
the reason is not because the total number of source related questions
decreased but because the total number of non-source related questions
increased.

Cheers,
Daniel
