StackOverflow annual developer survey needs Delphi developers answering the survey

[FPiette 390]

There is annual developer survey going on on Stack Overflow. Delphi is in the language list, now we need Delphi developers answering the survey and ticking Delphi to show it is relevant.

[Anders Melander 1937]

In case anyone else wonder what to specify for the Development Environment, we have to type in "Delphi", "C++ Builder" or "RAD Studio" (RStudio is something else).

It's just data.

Under the question "What do you do when you get stuck on a problem" I filled in "Masturbate". I hope they use that for a good cause 🙂

Is it valid to name en.delphipraxis.net as a platform where you can find answers to your Delphi related problems?

You are completely right, I should have answered 哦□�

That should have helped the devs to find out that there is nothing wrong with their input encoding 🙂

IDK why they need race and gender but left my 5 cents

No coffee addict option? This survey made me feel alone.

I would guess it is because coffee is assumed.

They profile gender, race, age, social and physical variations, education, income.

Next step is political preference, sexual preference, previouse convictions, racism.

In my opinion that is pathetic way to collect (useless) information to propagate an agenda.

 

If it was for me to put questions in such survey, i would ask such very useful and informative questions like

Weight, in personal view and people around view.

Hair color, and i am not talking about the color of the hair itself but the age induced white hair, aka wisdom hair.

Back and neck problems.

Bile and gallstones and the MF kidney stones.

How many lines you do per x period. (not talking about code lines)

Toxins consumption and other life delights preferences, Caffeine, Nicotine, Caocao, Prozac, Sugar, Salt, Xanax, Aspirin ... etc , the daily usual stuff.

They could use this information combined with the location to show "There are redhead / brunette / etc coders in your area" popups

Dream on. It would be:

"There are mostly gray headed/bald Delphi developers in your area"
