The results of this year Stack Overflow survey have been published: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/ There is a lot to go through, so if you prefer it in a video format, these kinds of videos can help and also provide some comments on the raw data that you see.
It is good to see that many people like Svelte. I have been using SvelteKit for multiple projects now. The Other frameworks and libraries section looked like a mess. How can you compare Electron, NumPy and Cuda…
Most results are not that surprising, I wonder how relevant these surveys will be in the future. I have the feeling I’m using Stack Overflow less and less.
What has replaced StackOverflow for you? Is it the IDEs getting better or something like Github Copilot?
Mostly the great feedback from IDE’s and official product documentation like MDN and the IBM documentation.
I have started to use Copilot and Copilot Chat, but it mostly seems to help with doing easy things much faster, it hasn’t really helped helped with actual problems. Bing chat is sometimes a lot faster though compared to searching the slow IBM documentation website.
I keep seeing IBM documentation more and more in the search results. But due to its slowness I always thought of it as something old and outdated. Maybe I should pay more attention to it.
