A Query to Compare Size and Growth Trends for StackOverflow Tags

• junto 13y ago
  I love the StackExchange Data Explorer. Even better is that the code is open source: https://code.google.com/p/stack-exchange-data-explorer/ https://code.google.com/p/stack-exchange-data-explorer/ Some really nice nuggets of code gems in there for people that want to learn ASP.NET MVC.

  Ran a sample query of "Rails" vs. "Django" on Chrome 27 on 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, but unfortunately all I get is "Too many queries are running, you may only run 2 queries at a time."

    You need to be signed in with an account to run more than 2 queries.

    hmm, SO doesn't go down much... anyway just tried it and seems to be fine now.

  Nice, work! One minor gripe though - every tag I've tried (Java, C, C++, Python, PHP, Haskell, Scala) has had a dropoff in the number of questions asked over the past couple of months. This suggests that there may be some seasonality in the number of questions asked (or at least, a more general dropoff in questions asked over the past couple of months). I think the results would be more meaningful if they either corrected for the seasonality, or presented the results as relative to the total number of questions asked.

    Yes, good point. December seems to be the worst month for developer activity...
