Ive seen data sets like this and they've been bad. My main issues have been that dataset isn't kept updated, theres no sense of proportion (e.g. is 1% of the team java or 50%), and there's often not enough companies in the dataset.

So bad that I probably wouldn't buy this data without some proof that its good data

This is really helpful feedback, thanks!

Yes, keeping it updated is a hard job, but it needs to be done regularly.

Can you elaborate on the sense of proportion problem?

And as far as enough companies, can you give me an example of a specific search you might conduct and how many results you'd expect?

Thanks!
