Stackoverflow Developer Survey Results 2016

It's that time of year again, when the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2016 Results[^] are revealed.

It's no surprise to see Javascript as the most popular technology, with the rise of frameworks such as as React.js and Node.js.

I'd love to know who those developers are who self identify as "rockstars" and "ninjas". Even if you recognised that you were a good developer and better than most of your peers, would you seriously identify as one of these types? I think some egos need bringing down. However, it's reassuring that most developers self identify themselves as "developers". Phew.

The industry is still very heavily dominated by men with over 92%. I feel this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. We need to get more women into our industry. It would be far better for it. That said, women do occupy creative roles such as designers which is encouraging.
