Delphi falls about where you’d expect in terms of Developer Usage …
but interesting, regarding IDE appreciation …
higher maximum appreciation than VS Code, second only to NeoVim …
but VS Code has a tighter, positive range. (usage numbers being : 63k, 10k, 2k)

Stackoverflow 2025 Developer Survey …

It’s ridiculously long and tortuous this year. I gave up partway through. StackOverflow is really heading in the wrong direction, I think.
I saw a total of 87 questions and didn’t even start … o.O

Nearly all the questions are about AI. Annoying.
Actually, although it wasn’t short, I didn’t think it was terrible.
I thought it compared about equally with previous years.
It was certainly asking about AI use - but that is an emerging facet of programming, so … ¯\(ツ)/¯
Wouldn’t their searches go through the roof (AI Bots)?
But yeah, search and interaction on their site would probably go in the other direction.
Impeccable sale timing by Joel et al!!
It’s a shame. It’s such a useful site - and the irony is that AI probably used it (prior to the ban) to train models.
I hope they have something ready in the wings to help preserve it.

Scary, what I suggested 6 months ago, already appears to have happened.

I would have thought that there were enough novel questions to keep the usage at some low to moderate level. I know that I have needed to use it enough times lately and still not find a reasonable answer. Maybe it can pivot to more of a “here’s my solution to this novel problem” forum instead of q&a.
