![]() Obviously this question had a lot of diversity in titles. However, I think it's fair to say that full-stack isn't just a buzzword used to make yourself look good in an interview. While it's an exaggeration to say everyone is full-stack, it's the most common developer occupation by far among survey respondents.īy far the most common developer occupation is "Full-Stack Web Developer" with twice the responses of next category - Peter Stone-Thompson March 17, 2016Ģ8% called themselves full-stack developers, and the runners up were back-end developer (12%) and student (11%). Please consider attending my unsession "Let's All Point and Laugh at this Ruby Dev Trying to Code Clojure for 30 Minutes" #fakestrangeloop- Neckbeard Hacker SeptemEveryone is "full-stack" now It's not a challenge if you stop caring about it right? One challenge that goes down slightly with experience is "trying to be nice". Developers feel these challenges increase as they become more experienced. When asked about the biggest challenges at work, respondents said "unrealistic expectations" the most often (35%) while "poor documentation" (35%) and "unspecific requirements" (33.5%) were close behind. Three years into a Programming degree and I'm starting to think I may as well just give it to Stack Overflow when I finish.- Gav Ma"Trying to be nice" becomes less of a challenge as you gain experience ![]() This makes sense since Google interviewers don't care whether you have a degree or not. Surely every developer learns to use some tiny library by themselves at some point in their career.Īnother interesting stat: only 45% of the surveyed developers have a college degree in computer science or a related field. That makes me wonder why the number isn't higher. This was a select-multiple question this year, so it doesn't just mean that the developers only learned their coding skills through self-teaching. How does that happen? Maybe Stack Overflow changed the question this year and didn't say anything. Last year, 42% of developers said they were self-taught. Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2016 Results // Money buys happiness buys money /OZrq2z1lgk- enguerran March 17, 2016Īnother interesting stat: referral by friends was the most common way respondents discovered jobs, except in India, where in-house recruiting was the main method. It also depends on the country you live in and the occupation too. 37% didn't even include salary in their priorities. Sure, after a certain salary level, the money becomes less of an issue. Work life balance was second behind salary with 50%. 63% of developers included salary on their list of priorities, which was the highest percentage (I'm rounding to the nearest percent for most of these stats throughout this article). ![]() Bean bag chairs and foosball tables don't make up for non-competitive salaries. Now for the real survey question: Kirk or Picard? (or Sisko or Janeway) 91% of developers are employed, but 78% are open to new opportunitiesĭon't count on loyalty to keep your developers from leaving. ![]() I think it's important to note that Firefly was the top write in, and it is also the top show in my heart. Maybe because those older groups saw the original Star Trek first, before Star Wars even existed. While 'Wars blew 'Trek out of the water among developers under 50, Trekkies won in the 50-59 and 60+ age ranges. I have to start with the most important data this survey collected-whether developers prefer Star Trek or Star Wars. For the 56,033 developers who took the 2016 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, and the rest of us who wanted to see the interesting stats without having to do any work, the wait is finally over! The fancy infographics for Stack Overflow's 2016 stats are here and it's time to dig in! If you just want the cliff notes for now, read on and I'll give you some of the greatest hits from the survey.
