What I want to know is, how many pennies were in the piggy bank? My guess was 176.
2016 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Results
61–70 of 175 posts
Re: 2016 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Results
#62It's interesting to see that over 34.5% of developers surveyed use some flavor of a JetBrains IDE:
Intellij - 17%
PhpStorm - 7.4%
PyCharm - 6.8%
RubyMine - 1.7%
WebStorm - 1.6%
---
Total - 34.5%
This makes the Intellij IDE the third most used environment surveyed. If you're not using a text editor, chances are you're using a JetBrains IDE. I'd be interested in seeing the text editor vs IDE breakdown (broken down by age and experience) once the full data is released.

#63I remain as surprised as last year about the prevalence of Notepad++. My circles do not intersect these users, I think.
Question - are you primarily a windows or mac developer? Because the counter part on mac is sublime text and I see a ton of that!

#64> The average developer is 29.6 years old. The median is 27. Does anyone else find this concerning given all the talk of age bias in tech?
That caught my eye as well so I googled past surveys to see how the results have shifted. What was more interesting to me is the 2016 distribution is very comparable to the 2013 distribution. But then again this survey hasn't been going on for that long.

Did you mean to comment in the fast food automation thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11304628
I would say this is because the reference to the big mac index on the stack overflow post.
Yeah, exactly. "How many big macs can you buy with your salary".

I see it kind of like this: 10 years ago when I had my first official job post college we needed some tools for interacting with our manufacturing data sets. I opened up Visual Studio and created some Windows applications and installers. Then we deployed a web service written in Java (because at the time any web server we had was *nix) to create some additional functionality and hooked the desktop apps up to it. Then…
I have no doubt that the web will eat desktop application (maybe native app as well at some point). However, they are plenty fields from machine learning, to robotics that are also likely on the rise that would require some SW development skills. Also, as mentioned by d0lph, I believe the high churn in web technology makes more people relying on SO, compared to let's say someone coding in C99. But my view is probably…

Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates disagree with you[1].

#67Fun fact. In Argentina the previous government used to give subsidies to McDonald's to keep the BigMac cheap, so these numbers around the world comparing salary to the BigMac index would look better.
A very fun fact indeed! Here are some sources to go with it: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012/05/01/why_big_macs_... http://latitude.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/24/argentinas-big-...
Thanks! I'm too lazy I guess :)

This is not too surprising given their other statistical creativity [0]. [0] http://www.economist.com/node/21548242
INDEC is the government office in charge of carrying on the statistic (inflation, etc). They lied us for 4 years (with the previous government). They've shut it down completely 3 months ago (with the new government) and they're supposedly working to reopen it with legit information. We'll see.

#70Finding it a little suprising that C# is still decreasing in popularity, despite Microsofts recent efforts: 2013 - 44.7% 2014 - 37.6% 2015 - 31.6% 2016 - 30.9%
Well. It didn't decrease as much. Perhaps it's just taking a moment to reverse the momentum.
