CodeBuddies Survey

[jkerak]

Let's create an (automated) survey of the codebuddies community.

Some initial thoughts on insights we might want to gather

• See what languages/frameworks people use

• see where in the world people are from

• see what people think of codebuddies

• what ide/text editors do people love/hate

• please add ideas

• how do we ask the right questions?

• how often do we ask?

• slack? email?

• get insights on changes of the community over time (which begs, where do we store results between survey instances?)

Added a simple use case diagram to show the scope of what I'm thinking for a "version 0" prototype of the survey. I'm thinking of just picking one each of a couple unique "types" of survey questions..

• integer value response (what age you started programming)
• multiple choice from a list (what country do you live in?)
• free form text response (what is your favorite/most used language or framework?)

As reference, here are the results of the two surveys we've sent out in the past:
