I think the technologies are pretty bubble based. We are 80/15/5 Mac/Linux/Windows and it’s been 15 years since I worked on a software team that’s thats mostly windows. But I talk to them from time to time. But if anything Mac feels underrepresented compared to my bubble.
I admit I’m probably biased in favor of believing the survey is representative. I work on one of the databases.
Speaking of databases, I don’t work on SQL Server but can see the appeal. It implements a huge array of features and it’s documentation is pretty good. Folks have told me it’s a lovely database to use.
I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn’t seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.
I’m not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.
