Coders Don't Fear AI, Reports Stack Overflow's Massive 2024 Survey


Stack Overflow says over 65,000 developers took their annual survey — and "For the first time this year, we asked if developers felt AI was a threat to their job..." Some analysis from The New Stack: Unsurprisingly, only 12% of surveyed developers believe AI is a threat to their current job...

Among those who use AI tools in their development workflow, 81% said productivity is one of its top benefits, followed by an ability to learn new skills quickly (62%). Part-time employment has also risen, presenting even more pressure on full-time salaries... Job losses at tech companies have contributed to a large influx of talent into the freelance market, noted Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar in an interview with The New Stack. Anticipation of future productivity growth due to AI may also be creating uncertainty about how much to pay developers.
