Nothing surprising there.
When I bought a new router, recently, I plugged it in, wired it up, walked over to the KVM to configure it... And couldn't log in because someone was already logged in.
The external cable was whipped out so fast that the plastic plug melted!

Wow. I'm in these tiny (but special!) groups:
Years Since Learning to Code: 40 to 44 years 1.0%
Years Coding Professionally: 35 to 39 years 0.7%
Age: 55 to 59 years 1.2%

Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing.
I'm just a few years behind you.
I also noticed that only like 4% of devs over 50. I guess we're special. 
Or, most devs just get sick of it by this age.

Did they take into account when someone has as much experience as you do....you might not need stackoverflow as much? Thus, you aren't actually answering the survey. Skewed results.

Are you kidding? I use SO multiple times a day, particularly when working with Javascript, but C# too, usually for arcane LINQ expressions. Today I was perusing extracting table and column information from SQL Server, SO was quite helpful.

I love this one 
Are you the IT support person for your family
- Yes
- SIGH
- Also yes
- Fortunately, someone else has that title
I'm fortunate, a tech savvy uncle has that title 
I'd expected the answer "IntPtr" or something for the question "What's your Handle?"
VB(.NET) isn't in the most dreaded languages, but VBA is on top (I guess they're considered the same?)
Crystal Reports is missing from the list, which must mean they're losing market share
Clojure and F# may pay well... If you manage to find a job!
Interesting survey, as always!

Microsoft has removed or replaced more than 50 of Google’s services that come as part of Chromium, including things like ad blocking, Google Now, Google Cloud Messaging, and Chrome OS-related services. All the tracking? (Or was that what they added in?)

Find all Google
Replace with Bing
Find all Google Cloud
Replace with Azure Cloud
etc

I would guess they removed google's "services" and replaced them with their own.

At one point chrome/chromium safe browsing still phoned home with your searches.

My first surprise as well.
Then noticed Debugging was also on the list.

Google’s new serverless compute platform is supposed to let developers build end-to-end applications their own way, without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. See Cloud Run. Run, Cloud Run

Yawn! How long before google gets bored with it and drops it like they've so much other stuff in the last couple of weeks?
The only thing they DON'T drop is tracking users.

Supposedly, the average age of a deceased Google product is 4.1 years[^]. However, I'd be surprised if anything "portable" lasts that long with them.

If you read the tips, the advice, essentially, is "fake it".
Small wonder that so many departments/companies end up being run by useless idiots.

A significant majority of consumers do not expect Google to track their activities across their lives, their locations, on other sites, and on other platforms. "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."
57% think Google shouldn't track them, but I hope 100% realize Google doesn't think the same way?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
