> survey of 791 developers

We have got to stop. In a universe of well over 25 million programmers a sample of 791 is not significant enough to justify such headlines.

We’ve got to do better than this, whatever this is.

Validity of the sample size is not determined by its fraction of the whole population. I don't know the formulas and I'm not a statistician. Maybe someone can drop some citations.
