Stack Overflow 2021 Developer Survey
- Bostonian 5y agoI wish they would just present the numbers and not editorialize. They write, "11.5% of respondents identify as something other than straight / heterosexual, with 6.5% preferring not to identify with any orientation. There’s still so much work to be done to ensure the developer community is more inclusive." Wikipedia says that in the U.S., "A 2017 Gallup poll concluded that 4.5% of adult Americans identified as LGBT with 5.1% of women identifying as LGBT, compared with 3.9% of men." According to Stack Overflow's numbers, non-straight people are overrepresented in their survey. At least in their data, there is no evidence that the "developer community [needs to be] more inclusive".
