Lots of issues with this, but I guess that's people for you.
Look at the usage by country and see how large India is yet look at the self-reported ethnicity, very few South Asians. I bet the vast majority of site users are South Asian, however they are not the ones most likely to take the survey, it is only the people who answer the questions who will take the survey and everyone else just wants their code, urgent.
Look at the years of experience...very few have 15-20 years experience but 17% have 20 years. Why so few with 19 years but so many with 20? What happened 20 years ago? The people who are relatively new (1-5) are probably answering honestly whereas everyone else is self-reporting 20+ years due to some form of internal bias toward how they view themselves in terms of experience.
Look at the most common languages...across all types (web, desktop, devops and data) javascript is the most common. What js does a desktop developer do? Again people are simply incorrectly self-reporting what they do.
It's not so much a survey as to how the community is, more how the community wants to be.

Quick look but ~9% have 15-20 and 17% have 20+. I think the + is the key here, as it is open ended (to a degree, factoring in life expectancy and how long development as a practice has existed).

majority of developers said they were underpaid
FMD, what an insight!!! A majority of people always think that, from the unemployed through to fat-cat directors.
Only 13.1% of developers are actively looking for a job
Given that most of the respondants are already employed meants 13% if they are 'attively looking' really means they are very disatistfied, that's actually quite a high number, it's really not an "only."
But 75.2% of developers are interested in hearing about new job opportunities
Again everybody doesn't mind 'hearing about' new opportunites, the cleaner wants to know, the boss is interested too, heck even most priests will listen for new gigs - again completely normal, human nature even.
after that stopped looking.
How can 'experts' publish such drivel, clearly these people are way overpaid.
Sin tack
the any key okay

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Maybe the other 24.8% worried the bas was watching their replies

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

That's great! Now they just have to find a solution for the other major SO disability: Unable to think

Easier said than done. QA here is a dumpsterfire for the same reason.

Well with ms and google doing ai won't need devs:
- the next version of vs will bing it's own solutions and produce more kindergarten style store apps,
- all it'll take is one bright spark to switch the search engine to google and voilà: end of the need for devs ... and all other humans

They should have asked how many had marked a question they didn't know the answer to as 'off topic'.

And it's definitely one Leslie hasn't told me before:
Q: What do you call a frenchman wearing rubber sandals?
A: Phillipe Phillope
Boom-Tish!

Here... your coat and your hat.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

He will also need a Phillipe Phillope, won't he?

0. Go down to the beach (in your flip-flops or not).
1. Find a short pier.
2. Take a long walk.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Rubber sandals?
Frenchmen?

Nailed it!
