The 2025 Developer Survey is the definitive report on the state of software development. In its fifteenth year, Stack Overflow received over 49,000+ responses from 177 countries across 62 questions focused on 314 different technologies, including new focus on AI agent tools, LLMs and community platforms. This annual Developer Survey provides a crucial snapshot into the needs of the global developer community, focusing on the tools and technologies they use or want to learn more about.
What’s interesting is that people learning to code are more likely to say “I’m not using AI and I don’t plan to” then professionals.
Sounds counter intuitive to me because I expected professionals to be more conservative in that matter. They already have some habits developed, as opposed to new learners that in theory should benefit from AI because it makes doing simple things easier and can quite well explain basic concepts.
