Hi,


> tl;dr: It's time for the annual Developer Satisfaction Survey! *This
>> survey is for everyone who uses any of the tools or services mentioned
>> below*, whether you would call yourself a "developer" or not. *Closing
>> date is March 24th.*
>>
>
As a feedback to the survey:
The survey contains *mandatory* questions to rate one's satisfaction with
each of these services. How should one rate the satisfaction with a service
that one does not use at all? At least for my perception this is not
possible and therefore the survey is only suitable for everyone who uses
*all* listed services at least to some point.
I wonder what is the motivation for making these questions mandatory? As a
user I am often frustrated by those, because I have the choice to
either cancel filling out the form, or risk to dilute the results.

Cheers,
M

Hi Michael,

Thank you for that. We will address this in future editions of the survey.

In the interest of not making the survey data inconsistent, I'm going to
recommend just giving a neutral (3) response to ones that you aren't as
familiar with. Given the number of responses we already have, I think this
makes more sense than adding a "N/A" option or making the questions
optional.

Thank you,

Greg
