Editor's Notes
- “The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average.”
- Over 25 million people use Stack Overflow every month – that’s the population of New Your, London and Tokyo combined
- 2012 survey results – In 2012, we conducted a survey of more than 2,000 programmers onStack Overflow to find out what matters most when they look for a job. These programmers lived all over the world, had up to 12 years of experience, and were evenly split among industries of all sizes.
- 9/10 devs would accept an offer that pays 10% less to work at a company that fits their other criteria better

- -It’s essential that your employees actually care about the work that they do, which means they need to like what your organization produces.

Smart people attract smart people, so make sure you’re using the right magnet in your recruiting efforts.
