For our 30th wave of Developer Nation, we're expanding our focus areas, refining our intelligence gathering, and improving our methodology to ensure our research remains the most relevant and actionable in the industry.

In a tech landscape obsessed with speed and innovation, software development remains one of the most complex and failure-prone processes in business. Poorly structured codebases, outdated documentation and brittle architecture may sound like engineering issues, but the ripple effects of failures in these areas can deeply impact product leaders, marketers, operations teams, and even customer-facing departments!

Artificial intelligence is transforming how software is built, deployed, and maintained. Yet, questions persist: Are AI-assisted tools really improving software delivery performance

The tools developers choose say a lot about the future of software and the businesses that support it. Programming languages are more than syntax; they shape hiring, tooling, revenue models, and even operational risk.
