The 2022 Developer Survey is now open

It’s that point of yr once more right here at Stack Overflow the place we take the heart beat of the developer neighborhood. That is our twelfth run at this, a unclean dozen of questions on tech stacks, working habits, and extra. And as soon as once more, we’re asking you to generously present details about the tech you’re keen on and detest in order that we are able to see the place the sector of software program engineering is headed. 

Up to now, this survey was our solely probability to see what the developer neighborhood thought of their area. However within the final yr or so, we’ve run quite a few smaller pulse surveys on particular subjects. We appeared into whether or not devs are bulls or bears concerning the blockchain and Web3. We gauged cloud adoption as many corporations moved to all-remote workforces. And we requested what jams, bops, and grooves drive you to code your greatest. 

This annual survey, although, is our largest effort. Final yr, we noticed how the occupation was rising quickly, with coders with lower than one yr of expertise accounting for over half of the respondents. On-line sources had been turning into a driving pressure in developer training, resulting in a growth in coders beneath the age of 18. With distant work turning into the brand new regular, we anticipate extra issues to shift. 

This yr, we’re diving deeper into on-line developer training. Over 60% of final yr’s respondents discovered to code on-line, so we need to know extra about that. We’re additionally taking a deeper have a look at model management; whereas over 90% of final yr’s respondents use Git, there are different instruments on the market, a few of which individuals declare are higher than Git. 

As in earlier years, we’re utilizing Qualtrics as our survey platform. For those who use a third-party ad-blocking plugin, you may even see error messages in the course of the survey interval. To keep away from points which will stop you from taking the survey, we ask that you simply particularly unblock Qualtrics in your plugins or pause the plugin whilst you take the survey. 

As in earlier years, Qualtrics blocks sure nations from accessing their website and knowledge: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea area of Ukraine (together with Sevastopol). As well as, some customers in China could have points attributable to restrictions imposed by native web service suppliers. That is unlucky, and we are able to do nothing about it. We’ve continued to analysis options, however to this point have discovered no passable different. 

As all the time, we’d like your assist to make this survey consultant.
