I saw a commenter on the linked site state that duckduckgo is great for programming, what does this mean?

#12So did 49 other sites.
You're obviously getting downvoted, so I probably will too, but I have to somewhat agree. But more specifically, why duckduckgo? Are they better than the other 49? Why is this submission rated number 1 on hn? I really don't get it.... One of 50 on a list? I work at one of the other 49, and didn't feel the need to submit when the list came out many many hours ago.... So, I guess I agree with the sentiment you express.…
DuckDuckGo generally has very good results and it's features (Privacy, Bang, etc.) and the like are good.

#13I've heard a lot of about duckduckgo on here and on reddit. Are there actual compelling reasons to use this service over google? Is the only reason their privacy policy? I saw a commenter on the linked site state that duckduckgo is great for programming, what does this mean?

You don't say which company you work for in this comment.
You don't use your real name in your HN profile.
You're not giving us a way to connect and root for you.
If you were more open. If you openly talked about your company and taught us what you learned, you'd give us a way to feel connected to you and your company. Then we'd probably all root for you too.
Give us a chance to get to know you and relate to you.

The best reason for me is the quality. Between the disambiguation feature and the lack of spam and crappy sites, DDG is really good at finding what you want it to.
