Re: Developer Survey Results
#2I love the part about SO developer story: 84% either do not use it or have never even heard about it (which basically shows its failure) yet insights team tries to interpret it as 40% actually using it. Based only on this point, I wonder how extremely biased their conclusions are overall.

Quite a few of those stats seem suspect. For example, I personally find it hard to believe that "80% of professional developers" prize Javascript above all other languages. Seems unlikely based on my network (which of course is a representative sample of all developers).

Were are you reading that? It's a long report but I wasn't able to find what you're referring to. Would be awesome if you could clarify!

#5With all the talk of Vim vs. Emacs, it surprises me that Emacs is in the low single digits, while Vim is 25% of all respondents.
It does not surprise me that it is 40% (and #1) amongst sysadmin/devops practitioners.

#6I don't believe that "Almost half of professional developers contribute to open source projects.", even if you count every single half baked unfinished project on Github as contributing to open source.

Contributions include bug submissions and (were possible) comments in RFCs, right?

#9I’m actually surprised that around 64% of the developers are having a “Computer science, computer engineering, or software engineering” degree.
I do my personal statistics for colleagues I’ve met and the percentage having no degree or degree in another field is around 7 out of 10.
Maybe that’s because I primarily work for startups and do my survey in the startup culture, but still it’s fascinating how much of those developers took the decision to become one at around high school age.

I have 3-4 public github repos ( <20 stars ) and I sometimes participate in definitely typed typescript moderation. I remember that I checked “participate in open source” on that question
