Working with the data at hand, we broke down our analysis by demographics where applicable. Look for this icon, which highlights differences between developer demographics. We acknowledge that we have a lot of work to do, and the data we obtain in our annual survey helps us make changes and set goals to improve the welcomeness and inclusiveness of our community. Similarly, we saw a slight increase in female-gendered respondents, while non-binary, genderqueer, or non-conforming remained the same. There was an uptick in some race and ethnicity groups, notably those of Hispanic or Latino/a/x and Black or of African descent, while other races and ethnicities remained similar or decreased. While we saw a lift in underrepresented groups, the difference in representation isn’t as large as we had hoped. This approach included social promotion and outreach to underrepresented coders.

In our efforts to reach beyond the Stack Overflow network and seek representation from a greater diversity of coders, we advertised the survey less on our own channels than in previous years and sought ways to earn responses from those who may not frequent our sites. This year’s survey was taken by nearly 65,000 people. This year, rather than aiming to be the biggest, we set out to make our survey more representative of the diversity of programmers worldwide. This year, we focused on seeking diverse representation while asking for information ranging from technologies and behavior to questions that will help us improve the Stack Overflow community for everybody who codes.įor almost a decade, Stack Overflow’s annual Developer Survey held the honor of being the largest survey of people who code around the world.
