2024DeveloperSurvey

6 Professional Developers

We asked Professional Developers to tell us about what impacts their productivity at work, how often it happens, and how much time it takes out of their day. We also asked them about the developer experience at work—do they have the processes, tools, and programs they need to make their jobs easier?

Most common frustrations

Technical debt is the top frustration at work for professional developers according to 63% of respondents, regardless of whether they are an individual contributor or a people manager.

However, they don't agree on how frustrating unreliable tools and services at work can be: people managers agree this is second to tech debt, but individual contributors find complex tech stacks for building or deployment to be slightly more frustrating.
