I've kind of found the opposite.

Because Google knows I'm a developer when I search for libraries etc. they're usually at the top.

For example, if I search for 'express' (the NodeJS package) on Google their website is at the bottom of the first page (just below my local newspaper's website, Paisley Express).

On DuckDuckGo it's 1 from the bottom of the second page.

Of course just a single example but you can see where I'm coming from.
