the percentages of women and minorities are still too low :(
71% of devs on the website don't have children
some skip meals to be productive (it happens to me too sadly)
people LOOOOOVE Rust, totally hate Visual Basic and yearn for Python in their sleep
people love Redis and Postgres, hate commercial DBs like DB2 or Oracle
there are a lot of Raspberry Pi aficionados out there
SharePoint is everybody's nightmare :D (I've seen it once, I ran the other direction)
Windows is still the first OS used by developers
the dual monitor setup is an evergreen (my take: the monitors need to be identical, otherwise your eyes are going to have a field day)
F# makes you rich
Python is beloved but it's at the bottom of the payscale (I remember when it used to be at the top). In a way this makes me happy because it means there are a lot of Python devs out there now.
One in three developers wants to change workplace
One in four developers wants to start their own company
36% of developers would consider writing unethical code (maybe the question is too generic?)
It's interesting to me that only 11% of devs in the U.S. value health insurance as a compensation. I would have thought the number to be way higher
Half of devs use standing desks!?!? I've never see one in Italy except on Techcrunch :D
Despite the numbers being low it is encouraging to see the students numbers (although still far too small) a little more diverse than the professional brackets. I am a little annoyed at how often I go through a company's staff page when I apply and only see white men. Hopefully we'll get better.
I'm also not seeing a lot of representation of gay developers. At least not enough to reflect the population statistics. I need somebody in the office that understands my references to the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous and my appreciation for Broadway shows.

Absolutely. Software developers are some of the most capable problem solvers in the world and it's hard to solve problems you are blind to. It's imperative we work to make this space more inclusive.
At least we have some ongoing data here. Lots of work to be done.

Agreed. No idea where all the standing desk users are.

Non-binary people do not even reach 1% :(
:-((
That's what Microsoft said at DotNet Conference Spain 2016.

You've got one right here. :)
They probably are in Standing Desk Companies that reject candidates who don't do the interview standing :D
