Title pretty much says it all. A brief search on HN didn't reveal much.

Probably in the happiest countries:

I would think that happy developer are located where interesting projects are, not where there is a more vacation days or whatever system ranks "quality of life" indexes.

What makes "interesting projects" a good way to measure happiness? Within the workplace there must be many more factors that can influence happiness like relationships with coworkers and superiors, and then there's personal lives etc.

The world happiness reports come from the data in these surveys, they look at a lot of different things -

At every other company.

Always.

No exceptions.
