My bad… After looking further, it looks like it’s still reading last years survey. I think I must have jumped in to quickly. ;)

4 Definitely Closed

Just to verify the above, it’s definitely closed and not working correctly. It’s coming up with a “survey closed” message that you may not be getting if you’re logged in as admin for the survey.

5 Please try again

Many, many apologies—I failed to make the survey public before the article was published. The fault is mine and I’m very sorry for any inconvenience. It’s public now and collecting data so please do give it another go!

6 ambiguous question

Has your geographical location slowed the progress of your career,
or made earning a living more difficult than it should be?

How should I answer the OR-question? The pattern of the question is like “A or not(A)”. So, when I answer “Yes” – does it mean yes for “A” or for “not(A)”?

7 target audience?

Is there a statement somewhere of who, exactly, you want to take this survey?

I am a web application developer, not a designer — should I take it, or will I throw off your stats?

Scriptin: that question doesn’t seem ambiguous to me; having more difficulty earning a living, or having a slower career progress aren’t mutually exclusive (on the contrary).

9 Excellent Survey.

Wow.. that was pretty comprehensive and actually had me wonder where the data was going while I took it. I can’t wait to see the results! Our business is growing weekly which is pretty darn exciting!

If you are a dev, a designer, producer or just passionate about web design, come check us out. We need more talent!
