I think this is a satire: * The survey lists it's purpose as identifying trends in software development. Hardly, as this will outline just what a small subset of trends on HN (and HN is just a tiny, itty bitty subset of all softwate development). Since HN is primarily web and mobile development, you won't learn about any trends in game development, for example. * 'Unbuntu' listed as an Operating System. Misspelling a…
