2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Results


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.

Job satisfaction → While all age groups want lists and articles, younger developers show a significantly higher interest in more social and interactive formats. It saw a 7 percentage point increase from 2024 to 2025; this speaks to its ability to be the go-to language for AI, data science, and back-end development. Community platforms → Most professional developers who indicated they used Google Gemini last year, are interested in other AI-oriented subjects like "Large Language Model" or "RAG", and tools like "Ollama".
