CppCon Hair Poll


During my talk at CppCon yesterday, I decided to liven things up by asking the audience to answer a question that comes up often: who does my hair style make me look like? People volunteer answers to this question--which, until now, I've never asked--on a surprisingly frequent basis.

I've now ransomed the data, and the final results (when CppCon ended) are as follows:

    Keep it up!

  7. None of them, the Swedish actor Johannes Brost is a closer match (except for the hair), perhaps what Scott will look like 20 years down the line:
