Key Takeaways from StackOverflow's Developer Survey

Throughout the month of February, wildly popular Developer destination StackOverflow conducted a comprehensive survey in an effort to more accurately paint the picture of the international developer. StackOverflow is a vast hub where developers can share their work, engage in a Q&A format, and browse the site's job board. With just over 26,000 respondents across 157 countries, this research may very well be the widest polling ever performed on the profession. Data gathered included location, gender, years of experience, side projects, favorite technologies, and much more. It's no secret that the surest way to find the best fit candidate is to intimately understand both the role and the point of view of the talent. With the results so generously provided by StackOverflow, you can begin to understand who exactly you're dealing with when it comes to the tricky tech hire.
