Linux 53.3%

I read this earlier this morning and had to reflect on this before writing. I do believe it has given us very insightful results of our industry and where its going. I wouldn't stick to these results as I would highly suggest by ten years time that the market will be reversed in quite a bit detailing these results.

What we know at the moment is that a lot more younger children are starting to code, and given five years time, there will be a lot more of us mid-level to senior developers and a new generation of coders that will more than likely beat us at our own game to some degree.

With the gender being female, I am increasing seeing that there are more women going into more technical roles, which hopefully will balance out the market.

Now what was interesting to see was where MySQL is standing, despite PHP has fallen quite behind int he market MySQL is still standing quite firmly.

Platform being Linux chosen over Windows and Mac for developers, that quite surprising! Maybe we are all fed-up with Apples costly macs that no one can afford ;)

Most Dreaded Platforms: WordPress - :D I predicted this exactly last year :)

For me hardly any statistics are really helpful. As long as SO does not allow to view results per country or region it's more like "well.. okay, the rest of the world thinks this way". Would be more interesting to get insights for Germany or the EU alone. Also, to be honest, there's not much which changed completely in comparison with last year.

Definitely a bad sign for PHP and its Eco-system

To be honest it looks more of fanboyish survey. What we do in industry and what is in the survey results is lot different. Nobody uses Rust for their blog, web app and desktop apps. So these are just developer wishes in the surveys.

DevOps specialists and SREs are among the highest paid, most experienced developers most satisfied with their jobs. Is it true?

Love the Vue vs React ❤ and WebAssembly reaching top.

I found the stats on Blockchain interesting.

1. 80% of developers don't use it at all.
2. 15% think it is fad.
3. 15% think it is an overuse of resources

Can't agree more

And one last one to end on a sad note

My workplace is slightly above average though, so good news there.

Open source software is of equal or better quality than closed source software (this is my experience as well)

React is the best framework, nobody needs to ask again for the remainder of 2019

Comparing jQuery to Laravel is apples to oranges at best though...

Rust is on top again! It's a very innovative and well-thought-out language, so I think it's well-deserved.

I'm generally happy with the top several. I wish it were what we do as an industry, rather than what we would like to do.

30% of developers who took the survey got inspired by Elon Musk 🔥😖
