Stackoverflow Developer Survey 2015
- radmuzom 11y agoAround 54% of the respondents to the survey use Windows as their desktop operating system. In contrast, HN seems to be heavily skewed towards Mac OS X or GNU/Linux.
- Houshalter 11y agoNot necessarily. Just that people who use less common tools tend to be more vocal about them. E.g. the most popular text editor is notepad++, but most text editor arguments are between vim and emacs. The kinds of people who use vim and emacs are just more passionate about text editors, and so more likely to speak up about them.
- tylerpachal 11y agoAlways interesting to look at these surveys. I especially liked looking at the compensation and purchasing power charts. At first, the United States looks like it is unquestionably the best place to work (compensation wise) while Eastern Europe was the worst. But then when you get to the Big Mac index chart, you can see that devs in the Ukraine (Eastern Europe) have the most purchasing power. Interesting.
