1. JavaScript and PostgreSQL remained the most popular technologies among developers in 2024, similar to 2023.
2. Developers expressed significant frustration with technical debt at work, it describes what results when development teams take actions to expedite the delivery of a piece of functionality or a project which later needs to be refactored, indicating ongoing challenges with maintaining and updating legacy systems.
3. Despite concerns about the accuracy and complexity-handling capabilities of AI tools, developers do not view AI as a threat to their jobs.
4. The proportion of hybrid developers remained consistent between 2023 and 2024 at 42%, while the percentage of developers working in-person increased for the third consecutive year, from 15% in 2022 to 16% in 2023, and further to 20% in 2024.
