Anyone know why they gave a whole section to "Web" and omitted Ruby? Even C and Visual Basic are present.

#24Given how wildly the framework usage [1] differs from the long-standing and well known State of JS survey results [2], I'd be fairly wary of anything else they claim. Not saying the results are wrong, probably just different samples, more so that it seems the variance is way too high to get any useful insights.

Because these are agencies. They're often called in to maintain legacy systems, which don't get to use shiny new tech. Hence low or missing numbers for things like Ruby or React, despite their prevalence otherwise.

#28Page layout is not great, got to the end and saw founders pictures so I thought that was the whole article. I'm interested so I reopened to double check and there's more on the left.

#29Hourly rates seem very off for Italy as well, as the real average is much much lower to the declared $80/hr (web&software). It is especially suspicious that France ($64/hr) and Germany ($55/hr) have a much lower hourly rate, when in reality salaries and rates in these countries are at least 20-30% higher than Italy.

Agencies like Reply, Accenture, Avanade and Engineering are quite overcharging other companies for their consultants in Italy, taking advantage of the fact that a lot of big companies are hostile to keep devs in house (almost all of the big banks for example). I had the chance to see for how much I was being sold as a consultant some years ago and it was almost 3x the salary I was going to get (3 x 32k before taxes).
