On the other side, 46% of all respondents spend more than 30 minutes a day answering questions. For a team of 50 developers, the amount of time spent searching for answers/solutions adds up to between 333-651 hours of time lost per week across the entire team. For people managers, often the more experienced developers, 73% report encountering a knowledge silo at least once a week.Ībout 63% of all respondents spend more than 30 minutes a day searching for answers or solutions to problems, with 25% spending more than an hour each day. 68% of respondents say they encounter a knowledge silo at least once a week. In short, most professional developers are experiencing some level of decreased productivity every week. Their responses can help the developer community start to quantify the impacts of the daily, invisible productivity frictions. In this year’s survey, we had a special section at the end where we asked professional developers to tell us what impacts their productivity at work, how often it happens, and how much time it takes out of their day. Why remember everything when you can use Stack Overflow as your second brain? Our data experts found that the majority of people come back to an answer over and over: 62% of regular Stack Overflow users visit the same question multiple times in a three-month period.* One of our data scientists tells us he probably visits this question once a month. Sparked by that, the team wanted to see how many of us are visiting the same question more than once. Two years ago we asked how you felt about searching for an answer and finding a purple link. Showing how fast web technologies change, newcomer Phoenix took the most loved spot from Svelte, itself a new entry last year. The big surprise came in the most loved web framework category. The top five languages for professional developers haven’t changed: JavaScript is still the most used, and Rust is the most loved for a seventh year. The big draws with the Developer Survey have always been the technology rankings, where technologists profess their most used, loved, dreaded, and wanted languages, frameworks, and more. I guess they’ll wait until onboarding at their first job. It was no surprise that Git was far and away the top version control system, especially among professionals, but what was surprising is that 17% of learners do not use a version control system at all. We had previously included Git in the “Other tools” section, where it took top honors. Our other new line of inquiry was version control. Has the switch to remote work triggered a new wave of entrepreneurship as well? The percentage of professional developers that state that they are an independent contractor, freelancer, or are self-employed has risen by about five points to 16.6%, while the percentage of those in our top five responding countries (United States, India, Germany, United Kingdom, and Canada) who have full-time employment has fallen. With so many people working remotely after the pandemic-nearly 85% of organizations represented in this survey have some remote workers-it could be that more and more of our daily lives are moving online as well.Īdditionally, as the pandemic drove us out of the office and into remote work, remote work may be driving us away from full-time employment to more self-directed work. The overall percentage of those learning to code online, however, increased from 60% to 70%. We found that older code crafters are most likely to learn from books, while the new generation of coders (under 18) relies on online materials and their friends and family. Our new questions focused on how coders learn their trade. We are so grateful to you for the time you spent on our survey. This year’s survey was longer than previous years’ as we wanted to follow up on new threads as well as provide a historical throughline with the questions we ask year over year. Over 73,000 developers from 180 countries each spent roughly 15 minutes answering our questions. You’ve been waiting patiently, but now the wait is over: the results of the 2022 Developer Survey are here.
