Traitwise coding survey

We're almost ready to release the beta version of our survey engine: Traitwise.com. As a test of the embedded private surveys, I've created this short 10 question survey for my nerd friends to resolve a couple of hypotheses I have about coding styles and coding experience. So, to all my coding friends -- please take a few seconds to honestly answer this survey and to report any bugs or problems you find in the engine.

Interesting -- I find no middle indicator a little hard to get traction from.

BTW I got

'Error
Sorry, an error has occurred fetching new panels:

panel_list 0 length

Reloading the page may fix this problem.'

After the 'number of years programming' question.

FYI, the question generator was repeating questions frequently. By 10 or 12 questions in, I had only been asked ~5 unique ones.

Just checked again--it isn't repeating questions, but repeats the initial intro screen about as frequently as it puts up new questions.

Actually, it looks like it repeats the intro screen rather than repeat a question, since the frequencies of new questions and intro screen presentations are anti-correlated (more new qeustions at the beginning, moving towards all intro screens as all questions are answered.)
