Programming Languages

While it might be tempting to learn Clojure, Elm, Ruby, or Scala given the income premium these languages seem to carry, it's important to also acknowledge that these languages tend to be practiced by more experienced devs, which could account for the difference.

Productivity Apps

When it comes to productivity apps, it's worth calling out Obsidian's impressive showing, coming in 6th overall despite not even being part of the question's pre-defined options.

Some tools such as Azure DevOps and Jira skew towards being used at larger companies, while Linear and Trello are more popular among smaller organizations.

Social Media

Plotting social media apps against age reveals that Bluesky and Mastodon users probably need to stretch every time they get up from a chair – or may like to reminisce about the days of dial-up and cassette tapes.

TikTok on the other hand skews younger, which makes sense because you'd need a fresher body to even attempt some of those dances.

Community Involvement

No surprise here, but video is the main way respondents keep up with the community. Sadly, in-person events remain fairly uncommon.

And while RSS feeds were a popular write-in answer, the median age of these respondents does not bode well for the future of that particular technology.

Community Contributions

When looking at community involvement vs gender, it seems like women and non-binary respondents are less likely to engage in online spaces, but more likely to attend live events – which might point to a failure to build sufficiently inclusive online communities.

Open Source

While nearly half of respondents have contributed code to open-source projects, it turns out this figure hides a real gender divide, with 51% of men having contributed code, but only 36% of non-men respondents.

That delta is much smaller for actually creating an open-source project (29% vs 21%) – which could indicate that the issue is not open-source in itself, but rather feeling comfortable enough to join an existing project.
