The 2019 StackOverflow Developer Survey is out. What are the most relevant key takeaways for you?

So they divided developers into two groups? Men and gender minority respondents? What?

There was a lot of interesting stuff at that link. I did groan through the gender/race demographics stuff. IMO , the bizarre fascination with that stuff is poisonous to society. I don't care what's under your clothes, who you share it with, or what color it is, but if you demand that I call you "xer" or "zir", then I'll laugh at your outrage and tell you to get a life.

I'm really surprised that .NET Core is the most loved in other frameworks/libraries.

I was suprised same amount of devs use VIM and IntelliJ.

Most developers are developing in javascript / html / css /sql so I don’t know if those are good measurements.
Primary operating system windows, most loved framework .net core and most popular dev environment visual studio.
Next results would probably be about making web pages in word and coding in excel.

@vane lol 😂

HOW THE FUCK THIS IS HAPPENING

@MrBob Every third Tuesday, Kim Jong Un lets a peon have electricity for an hour.

@stackodev that IS Mr. Kim...

Golang is doing better than i expected :D

@MrBob VPN or trolls

@Techno-Wizard I mean do they really have internet access??? Then how do they got vpn servers?

@MrBob ... fair point.

What the actual fuck is a gender minority?
Should be pretty equally distributed, ~50% male ~50% female.

@Froot a gender minority is one that simply seeks retribution....I mean restitution against the gender majority. Don’t be fooled. “The world is run by men” means that men are in the majority and oppressing errbody. Define your own range based on your relative rage. You can make it 51% men to 49% women or 99% men and 1% women. Whichever helps drive your “narrative”. ;)

@stackodev dude. gender is literally nothing more than a set of behaviors attributed to a group. that's literally it. even if you pull biology into it, even that's not actually a binary down to the genetic level. biology isn't black and white sometimes. we get people who don't have an obvious female or male genatelia, androgen inensitivities, XX, XY, XXY, XYY, biology is flipping weird. you can Google any of these

@Techno-Wizard Nothing you said is supported by millions of years of actual biology. Google, having signed onto the transgenderism agenda, is not an objective source of material on the subject. Much of what we know about the normal distribution of binary gender, with the non-binary outliers being a far out extreme, will be memory-holed by the big brothers at media companies like Google. In the next 20 years, it will all be falsely flipped into a bogus pan-gender narrative that will claim all kinds of things that are directly falsifiable by our lying eyes. If anyone resists, they will be made to change their minds and say that the emperor has clothes on or lose their employment.

@Techno-Wizard

Pediatric endocrinologist explains 'transgender therapy' a danger to kids, based on 'very poor science'

“It's very important to note that Dr. Hruz doesn't question the existence of gender dysphoria, or having a gender identity different from one's biological sex. He didn't speak ill of the legislation either. The reason that it's important is because the reaction his statements will get, and that Ingraham will get for simply having covered the topic, will not care about that distinction.

The fact that he is even questioning the undertaking of serious intervention in the development of a child without thorough understanding of the consequences or even the necessity, won't matter, because the politics of social justice are too rigid for even contemplation of caution. You must embrace and celebrate surgically altering children, or you're the backward loon.”

I'd love to have a discussion about it but devrant really isn't the place for it. Plus, while I believe that the article you linked is truthful and the doctor isn't exaggerated, theblaze is a extreme far right news source so I don't really feel like I can trust it's validity. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-...

@Techno-Wizard I just take it very simply. There are men and there are women, there's no in-between of made up nonsense.

I get it, this day and age young folk are stressed and want to find their place in the world but chipping away at centuries of scientific progress so you can tilt reality to fit you isn't the right way of going at it.
Everybody wants to be special but we just aren't. And it's easier and more productive to make peace with it than to try and warp reality to make yourself stand out.

@Techno-Wizard I knew you’d dismiss the source out of hand and never read it. That’s why I quoted the part I did. He’s scientist who largely agrees with your take on gender. But even he sees there is danger in the agenda going too far. And you just deny that because you don’t like the one source that’s brave enough to defy the new social order and point it out. You’re directly sanctioning the idea that certain questions are off limits and certain lines of scientific inquiries ought to be banned.

@stackodev geez I never said I didn't read it. I did and agreed with most of the things he said tbh. I just also feel that people have their own choices in life and that while they're not one I'd make, especially with one that involves body manipulation, that I don't understand and never will. I can't imagine how awful it would be to feel like you're stuck in the wrong body. While that kind of change isn't ever the real thing, causes serious damage to the body in some cases and almost always at least some, the choice to do that kind of thing isn't mine. I don't think we can judge people who are suffering and want to do something about it. All we should do is pressure to be contentious about the dangers involved and get professional help before that choice. I have a trans male friend who finally feels happy in his own body for the first time in his life, and I never want to take that away from anyone or say that doing something about their pain makes them a loon.
