If I can try and put myself in the shoes of the critics for a second, I think the issue is compounded by the fact that the survey (being named "The State of CSS") tries to speak for the CSS community – and our goal is definitely to make something the CSS community can embrace and be proud of.
So beyond the purely methodological criticisms, I also understand the frustration if you feel that something that's aiming to represent you does not in fact correspond to your own reality.
Thank you for this comment — just to be clear, I was responding not to your post directly but to another comment that ridiculed the criticism.
I am not trying to downplay the frustration people feel with not being represented in tech (I myself am rolling my eyes and speaking up often because of this). Still, I wonder whether gender does play any part in the results — seeing the differences and learning about reasons for them could tell us a lot about the community and CSS alike.
I really appreciate the transparency in your methodology and your openness about the limitations and imperfections of this survey. I’d be happy to help out in the next iterations even if by distributing it in my networks.
