MODERATORS
Stack overflow had pushed so hard for LLM usage in the last survey that a question such as "what percentage of developers use ai (LLMs)" is meaningless now, because those developers which don't use it will just have rolled their eyes upon seeing another survey, and skipped it entirely. It can't be representative any more.
Interesting point. It's good to see someone lending a critical eye to method.
Asking lots of questions about the controversial big thing seems like a good idea?
Not if each of these questions is loaded like a 17th century cannon...
