All I can say is that it’s good to be interested in web technologies 😛

What interests me is the percent of people having more than 20 years experience is the largest, which is cool.

That really blew my mind but I suppose it explains why so many people on Stackoverflow are so knowledgeable and experienced. Also what really blew my mind is that 1% of respondents were blind. Amazing.

The 20 years of experience number surprised me as well! I think that is great to see given that some of us here will be hitting that mark soon (if we haven’t already haha) 👴 👵

Some good Data.
- Would of liked to see # of hours worked a week on average.
- I was saddened by the **continued low % of females**.
- Funny that VB flavors made 3 of the top 4 dreaded languages.
- A bit surprised Brackets didn’t make the list, Atom by contrast did pretty well.
- Rather shocked Freelances are so low?

I was surprised by the blindness statistic as well. According to the WHO, about 0.5% of the species is blind, so I guess it seems reasonable (though even that seems high in my unscientific experience). Hard to imagine a programmer without sight.

Once you meet someone using a screen reader or learn about the tools they use, it shouldn’t be hard to imagine anymore. Check out things like [VoiceOver](http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision/), [WebAnywhere](http://webinsight.cs.washington.edu/) (something I worked on), or [this article](http://mashable.com/2016/07/10/apple-innovation-blind-engineer/) that talks about how people were excited for accessibility in Swift Playgrounds.

Until you see/hear it in action. Proper accessibility is laughable in most of the internet. At least if you have a blind developer working for you, your own accessibility should be up to scratch.
