Are we, as developers, getting better or worse at writing good code?
Survey period: 24 May 2021 to 31 May 2021
A very loaded question, sure, but try and think about when you first started writing code and the examples you read and the code you worked on, and compare it to what you see now.
| In general I think we as a profession are definitely writing better code | 758 | 39.42 | |
| I think developers these days are generally writing better code | 391 | 20.33 | |
| I can't see much of a change from years past | 395 | 20.54 | |
| I think the quality of code is going down | 137 | 7.12 | |
| I think the quality of code is definitely getting worse | 82 | 4.26 | |
| Unanswerable: Code quality is in the eye of the beholder | 88 | 4.58 | |
| Wrong question: it's not about quality. it's about whether it does the job and how much it cost to write | 72 | 3.74 | |
