Blog - Stack Exchange: Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2015: The Results

Sam Brand on April 07, 2015

Every year we ask our users to tell us a little about themselves. This year we asked our users to tell us a lot.

For 2 weeks in February 2015, we ran a 45 question survey. We asked where you live, what programming languages & frameworks you use, how much money you make, how much coffee you drink, and whether you prefer tabs or spaces when writing code. More than 26,000 of you responded, making this year’s survey quite possibly the most authoritative developer survey ever conducted.

A few findings: …

Tim Stone

@Sterno Yeah, that part confuses me.

Wipqozn

@MattThrower The problem is it's not better to go either one. Both are perfectly viable options.

It's just matter of whatever you prefer.

Which is why I suggested coming into chat.

Matt Thrower

I was under the impression it was ill-advised to play much without recourse to some sort of ranged attack.

Powerlord

I definitely recommend chocolate.

Sterno

He seems to be saying it's belief-based medicine.

Matt Thrower

15:07

Chocolate is not a valid weapon or stat in Dark Souls

Sterno

There's a medical word for that too. It's called the placebo effect.

Matt Thrower

@Wipqozn hence my question. Missile weapons do seem to be pretty useful. But I have no arrows.

Matt Giltaji

@Sterno where can I buy this placebo? it seems to fix everything

Wipqozn

@MattThrower You can get through the game without ranged weapons. They're not needed. Also, Pyromancy doesn't scale with any stats. Your cast time goes up with dex I believe, so if you wanted to use pyromancy a dex build would be better choice imo.

@MattGiltaji I don't remember exactly how it was explained but I can say "This isn't an issue".

Yuuki

@Batophobia That's mildly terrifying.

Matt Thrower

15:14

@Wipqozn That's interesting, thanks. But it's very weapon non-specific. The dex requirement suggests I ought to switch to the Uchigatana, or something else. I suppose I should go back to Firelink and test that weapon out to get a feel for it. I wonder why they advise the 16 strength?

Origami Robot

Matt Thrower

15:20

@Wipqozn I guess, but that's kind of not what I'm looking for. I could get that from any FAQ site, probably. There are so many options, and I'm struggling to narrow them down. There's a lot about "optimising" Dark Souls that makes it a bad fit for SE, I suppose.

Grace Note

But he just asked which he should get.

Batophobia

He did just buy 3 special edition N3DS

Wipqozn

@MattThrower Okay, that's what I got from your question, and why I suggested chat. My suggestion would be to just find a weapon you like, and use it. The Claymore is a perfectly viable weapon which a lot of people like to use.

darksouls.wikidot.com/claymore

> The Claymore is a good weapon for STR/DEX physical builds (for obvious reason) and can even be good for STR builds for early to mid-game. STR builds need some DEX anyway, and the Claymore's low DEX requirement means most of the time they can wield the Claymore right away. Just like a straightsword, its one-handed thrust attack has a higher attack modifier, and can do higher damage than the Attack Rating might suggest.

Stat wise,dumping points into strx and dex would be good if you wanted to stick with your claymore

Matt Thrower

@Wipqozn Ok, have I missed something then .... I thought the Claymore only upgraded with Str?

Origami Robot

dex builds best builds

Wipqozn

15:25

@MattThrower No It's C/C, so it scales with both.

Matt Thrower

@Wipqozn God, so it is. Sorry, I had no idea. So I can safely pump dex then and still get the same bonuses.

@Wipqozn Thanks for clearing that up. It still leaves one question, which is what to do with it when I get to +10. Just take the path up to +15 or go Lightning/Raw or something else?

Wipqozn

@MattThrower I wouldn't go RAW. Claymore RAW seems to be worse than the base one. Lightning claymore looks like it would be effective.

Matt Thrower

@Wipqozn 'kay, thanks. With that in mind, perhaps I'll just hoover up some more pyromancies and experiment. See if I can get some more use out of them.

Unionhawk

@Rainbolt yes

That is not a question that would fit here on Arqade.

Rainbolt

I'm not seeing any convincing reasons (only resistance), but I won't flag it for migration.

Unionhawk

It's the equivalent of asking what the world record time for Ocarina of Time any% is.

murgatroid99

15:49

@Rainbolt Basically, we don't like questions of the form "What is the highest score achieved in <game X>?" because it's unverifiable and unmaintainable

Unionhawk

Even if magically nobody could play Ocarina of Time ever again, it's not a good fit here.

murgatroid99

We can't keep track of everyone who's ever played the game, and any answer, if it is valid, would only be valid until someone gets a better score

Frank

@Rainbolt Probably for the best, because it'll probably get rejected in record time.

We're not a fan of those types of questions, regardless.

murgatroid99

I think I'd actually vote to close such a question as "too broad"

Since it's effectively asking about an aggregation (max) of all scores (or min of all times) over the game's history

Q: Are we allowed to ask questions about the nintendo Smash Bros poll?

Recently there has been a big fire sweeping the internet regarding an official poll by Nintendo asking fans which characters they'd like to see in Smash Bros. This is exciting, but it also raises a lot of legitimate and interesting questions, and before we start seeing an influx of them, I'd li...

When you say your device outputs 1 pulse per second (1PPS), make sure it's actually exactly 1 second between pulses, and not, say, 1.001 seconds between pulses.

@SepiaLazers strange, i've not seen this "fire sweeping the internet"

MBraedley

@MattGiltaji You've surely seen @Flyk set people on fire, right? That's obviously what the question means.

Matt Giltaji

@MBraedley ah, good point

John

I just had a question come up in the close-vote queue that was closed a month ago...

> This was only a test, designed to make sure you were paying attention. You passed. Closing is appropriate for questions with serious problems.

Well, that explains that.

@John That's only active on either just SO or just the trinity.

John

They also lied to me about the vote counts.

MBraedley

I think it's the trinity.

Unionhawk

@MBraedley I think so

John

@MBraedley I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but couldn't remember where

Unionhawk

Basically they don't want people just hitting buttons blindly

John

Yeah

Frank

@Unionhawk Unless it's skip.

Unionhawk

Sure

Frank

But robo-reviewers will do anything for those badges.

MBraedley

@John Those ones always make me think. Like if this is so obvious, why am I seeing it in the queue?

Which is really self answered -- they're in the queue because they're so obvious.

John

@MBraedley Oh, did kalina change names?

Unionhawk

Like I said, they just want to make sure you're paying attention. "Leave Open" is the least number of clicks required and the least mouse movement required for people who aren't paying attention

@Powerlord Yes and no

MBraedley

@Powerlord Yeah, like a month ago. She's still kalina on Arqade, but her chat is associated with another site now.

John

@Unionhawk Yeah, I've been tested before, just wasn't expecting it right now for some reason

Some champion's skin can make skillshot harder to see, harder to differentiate from an auto attack etc I am a anivia player and I found that the E is slightly harder to notice and differentiate from the auto attack with the black frost anivia skin. For singed, for instance, the surfer skin has ...
