- skore 13y agoSurveys like this should always be fully anonymous. If the name isn't published, why is it collected? Asking hackers to provide their full name is like cryptonite. As for a shorter survey - The form itself could be a lot more inviting. For instance, the question "Did you know anybody else your age that programmed" is a simple Yes or No. Or does it want me to give away the personal details of that person as well?
