  • This isn’t 32000 in 1 wave, though. This is ~2500 a year over 13 years. Even the answers given at the beginning of the study could have changed wildly if the same people had been polled at the end. And even if not, 4 people per city is not representative of an entire city at any given moment of time.

    What demographics in China did they poll each year? Did they poll people of different racial profiles? Did they poll uyhgurs? Were the candidates selected randomly or were the assigned by the government? If the latter, were they coached or paid? Any number of things could throw off that study.




  • Not sure if you’re suggesting that it’s a problem of knowing the language or sarcastically saying that Node.js allows for developers to not know what’s happening.

    On the case that you’re thinking it’s a knowledge of the language issue, that’s not what I’m getting at. Typically, what I see with full stack developers is an over reliance on frameworks to do the heavy lifting to the detriment is their skill sets. Often not knowing how to optimize DB queries or trouble shoot performance problems. This works fine in purely CRUD use cases, but falls apart when scaling using more complex patterns starts to occur. I’ve spoken with Sr and staff full stack developers that truly believe the only thing you need to do in order to scale a web app is add nodes.
