![]() This is such a rich dataset to get to work with, full of interesting things to notice! One result this year that I didn’t expect ahead of time was with our question about whether a respondent eventually wanted to move from technical work into people management. Were there results from the survey this year that came as a surprise? From munging complicated raw data to creating beautiful visualizations to delivering data deliverables via an API, R is the right tool for the job for us. Why did you use R to analyse the survey?Īll of our data science tooling at Stack Overflow is R-centric, but specifically, with our annual survey, we are working with a complex dataset on a tight schedule and the R ecosystem provides the fluent data analysis tools we need to deliver compelling results on time. After the survey was fielded, I cleaned and analyzed the data, created data visualizations, and wrote the text for both our developer-facing and business-facing reports. Before the survey was fielded, I worked with one of our UX researchers on question writing, so that our expectations for data analysis were aligned, as well as using data from previous years’ surveys and our site to choose which technologies to include this year. We have an amazing team who works together on this project, including a project manager, designers, community managers, marketers, and developers. I am the data scientist who works on this survey, and I am involved throughout the process from initial design to writing copy about results. This year, we had almost 90,000 respondents who shared their opinions on topics including their favourite technologies, their priorities in looking for a job, and what music they listen to while coding. The Stack Overflow Developer Survey is the largest and most comprehensive survey of people who code around the world each year. Hi Julia! Tell us about the StackOverflow Developer Survey and your role at Stack Overflow Julia shared with us what we can expect from her address – which will focus on how Stack Overflow uses R and their recent developer survey. We can’t wait to hear Julia’s full keynote, but until then she kindly answered a few questions. Julia Silge is joining us as one of our keynote speakers at EARL London 2019.
