I'm saying it's a fallacy is you use sampling bias on one factor to discredit another unrelated factor.

If you pick a sample to test a new painkiller, you should include an equal amount of men and women, old and young people, people of different ethnic backgrounds, etc. to have a balanced sample.

On the other hand, you do not need to have equal shares of people whose favorite color is blue, red, green, etc. because that clearly has no relation with how people would react to medicine.

Author here, I appreciate the feedback but I feel like there's a falacy here. If we asked respondents if they liked ice cream, and it turned out 95% of survey respondents hate it, would you say the rest of the data is not valid because the survey is clearly not representative of the general population?

The fact that the survey may not be representative on things like immigration or its Japanese audience has no relation to the data's validity on completely unrelated questions such as developer's outlook on AI.

A recap of the recent State of Web Dev AI survey results.

Thanks for sharing!

You don't need a grid system now that CSS Grid exists.

Taking the survey myself definitely showed me my own HTML skills are rusty as a consequence of building JavaScript apps for the last decade.

The truth is that building web apps is a large and complex enough field that it's quite hard for a single person to master all of it, and I think we should normalize the fact that any single developer will have their areas of strength and weakness.

I'm one of the developers of the survey app. While I would love to have the app work seamlessly without JavaScript, the reality is that when you build apps with a React/Next.js stack the path of least resistance does usually take you in a direction that requires JS to work.

Personally I don't see it as a good or bad thing, it's just one way of building web apps, and it so happens it's the one I know how to do.

It's not a theory, it's literally how free speech works in the real world. Private entities can't be compelled by the government to to publish content they don't want to publish, just like they also can't be silenced by that government.

What you seem to be asking for is a world where the government can override the autonomy of publications and force them to publish specific items. How is that "free" speech?
