Ryan and Eira welcome Erin Yepis, Senior Analyst at Stack Overflow, to the show to discuss the newly released 2025 Developer Survey results. They explore the decline in trust in AI tools, shifts in popular programming technologies, and the patterns Erin saw in salary growth among developers.
No need to bury the lede: more developers are using AI tools, but their trust in those tools is falling.
This year, technologies such as JavaScript and PostgreSQL remain most popular, Rust and Markdown remain most admired, developers are most frustrated by technical debt at work, and they don’t see AI as a threat to their jobs.
How are developers actually using GenAI-powered coding tools now that some of the initial hype has faded?
Ryan and Eira talk with Stack Overflow senior research analyst Erin Yepis about the results of our 2024 Developer Survey, which polled more than 65,000 developers about the tools they use, the technologies they want to learn, their experiences at work, and much more. Erin highlights what the survey reveals about devs’ favorite programming languages (JavaScript, HTML, Python), the rise of Rust, the popularity of embedded technologies (Raspberry Pi, Arduino), developer sentiment around AI, and why tech debt tops the list of developer frustrations.
This year we are asking familiar questions about your experience, but also have some new questions about what embedded programming technology you are using and what AI ethical responsibilities are most important to you.
Giamir Buoncristiani, tech lead for the Stacks design system at Stack Overflow, joins Ryan for a conversation about all things front end, including how he joined Stack with a mandate to modernize the front-end user interface and why Stack Overflow developers are such big fans of Svelte.
