Small population size, but a trend is starting to show
- nanis 11y agoSmall sample, but thirty is infinity in Stats, so that's not a big deal. On the other hand, results mean nothing because this is a convenience sample, not a random sample of all developers. It only shows the intention of those who saw the poll and decided to respond to it. Neither is independent of what the poll is trying to measure.
- k_sasha_toronto 11y agoAgreed. Hoping the rest of the HN crew will help bring the bias out. It's an indication at best; not science for sure.
