Link to sectionPrevious Surveys
This chart shows which other Devographics surveys this year's respondents had previously taken part in.
The fact that a sizeable segment of this year's respondents had also taken other surveys points to web development not being quite as fragmented as one might think – even if you primarily write JavaScript, keeping up with CSS and the web platform is still key!
Note that we can only generate this datapoint for respondents taking the survey while logged-in. Guest respondents appear as “No Answer”.
Link to sectionParticipation Count
This chart shows how many times this year's respondents had taken part in a State of JS survey before.
The fact that the largest bucket consists of new respondents means we are successfully reaching a new population, which mitigates bias that might carry over from our existing audience. But it also points to the challenges of getting people to consistently fill out a survey year after year.

Link to sectionSource
The majority of respondents knew about the survey from previous years. It's also worth highlighting that the Angular and Nuxt homepages featured banners pointing their users to the survey; and that Bluesky came in at number 5 despite this being the first time appearing as a traffic source for the survey.
We also made special outreach efforts (full report here) focused on attracting more women developers.
