I remember when "Flappy Bird" blew up someone sent me a link to the mobile dev section of a freelancer website and 80% of the project requests were all "A game like Flappy Bird". Funniest was that they were generally offering about $50, $100, paltry sums like that thinking they would then make millions from the game  Yeah cos if I can write a game that'll make me millions I'll do it for you for $50.

so 83% weren't tested? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Bi-annual Developer Economics survey by SlashData says that JavaScript is the most popular programming language. The report also details how developers are increasingly involved in development projects with AI and VR features. They're the ones gibbering in the corner about NPM, prototype-based inheritance, and ThisWeeksHotness.js
