People that use average to describe the middle of non-symmetric distributions are dumb.

I hope you realise the distribution need not be symmetric for the average value to be in the middle.

Yes, but elchief's point is obviously that if the data has a positive or negative skew, the median is going to be more helpful than the mean.

Ruby used by 14% of all developers. Yeah right.

I'm guessing this is highly oriented towards web developers. Not all developers make iPhone apps and web sites. Your demography (what kind of developers are included in this survey) is not clearly stated here.

$120 / hour based on some rates I saw on website, now should I charge at 15 minute or hour long intervals.. :)

Don't you read anything that patio11 or tptacek write? You're supposed to charge by the day! :-)

Your website took forever to load from my phone. Granted, i was in a 3G zone and not 4G but that happens. It was the text which took a good long while followed by the info graphic i didn't bother to wait for. Just a heads up.

Yikes, ok we'll take a look at that. Seems like we've got a lot of testing to do on this. Thanks for the heads up.
