BAD designed Survey (too partiallized results, no real options) AndyHo23-Mar-17 15:53 AndyHo 23-Mar-17 15:53  Hey CodeProject, As an expert in AI and programmer in .NET I use many frameworks, including ACCORD form CE'zar Souza, Bad survey: you NEVER included .NET and languages like C# which are one of the most demanding and useful languages I've ever used. I thrown away Java and Python for being inefficient! and C++ is too machine/hardware dependent! (ansl I am no fan of MS) but you left me down with this survey No AI Survey Ed(Member 1767792)14-Mar-17 8:26 Ed(Member 1767792) 14-Mar-17 8:26  The first question should have been whether or not you worked in AI / Big Data. If not the answers don't make sense. The worst survey ever Member 371720412-Mar-17 23:31 Member 3717204 12-Mar-17 23:31  If you don't work in AI you can't fill in the survey at all and can't even select NONE for any of the questions. The results of the survey are bogus due to this issue. Aieeeeee! Bewilderbeeste7-Mar-17 18:46 Bewilderbeeste 7-Mar-17 18:46  Might have been useful to have 'Do you do AI stuff?' as the first question, and if you say no ignore the rest of the survey. Glad it was very short, it was only a short waste of time for a non-AI-guy. No AI for me (yet) Gaston Verelst7-Mar-17 3:47 Gaston Verelst 7-Mar-17 3:47  I'm not doing any AI projects yet, I was missing that option. I did try to answer as correct as possible.
