| <div>Thank you for taking the 2021 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, the longest running survey of software developers (and anyone else who codes!) on Earth. </div> |
|
|
| <div> </div> |
|
|
| <div>As in previous years, anonymized results of the survey will be made publicly available under the Open Database License, where anyone can download and analyze the data. On that note, throughout the survey, certain answers you and your peers give will be treated as personally identifiable information, and therefore kept out of the anonymized results file. We'll call out each of those in the survey with a note saying ""This information will be kept private."" </div> |
|
|
| <div> </div> |
|
|
| <div>There are six sections in this survey. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sections will appear in a random order.</div><div><br></div> |
|
|
| <div> 1. Basic Information</div> |
|
|
| <div> 2. Education, Work, and Career</div> |
|
|
| <div> 3. Technology and Tech Culture</div> |
|
|
| <div> 4. Stack Overflow Usage + Community</div> |
|
|
| <div> 5. Demographic Information </div> |
|
|
| <div> 6. Final Questions</div> |
|
