In many cases, the things developers value and want to do more of are in conflict with how their performance is measured.Learn more about developer experience Current performance metrics fall short of developer expectations For developers, collaboration is one of the most important parts of the equation. How positively or negatively the work environment, workflows, and tools affect developer satisfaction.įor leaders, developer experience is about creating a collaborative environment where developers can be their most productive, impactful, and satisfied at work.How frictionless it is to move from idea through production to impact.How simple and fast it is for a developer to implement a change on a codebase-or be productive.DevEx is a formula that takes into account: C = Collaboration, the multiplier across the entire developer experience. And collaboration, as we learned from our research, is at the core of how developers want to work and what makes them most productive, satisfied, and impactful. One big takeaway: It starts with investing in a great developer experience. With this survey, we wanted to better understand the typical experience for developers-and identify key ways companies can empower their developers and achieve greater success. 70% say AI coding tools will offer them an advantage at work and cite better code quality, completion time, and resolving incidents as some of the top anticipated benefits.Īt GitHub, we’re aware there’s often a significant gap between the day-to-day reality for most developers and “conversations about ‘what developers want.’” Developers also see big benefits to AI.More than 4 out of 5 developers expect AI coding tools will make their team more collaborative. Developers in enterprise settings work with an average of 21 other engineers on projects-and want collaboration to be a top metric in performance reviews. Despite industry-wide investments in DevOps, developers still say the most time-consuming thing they’re doing at work besides writing code is waiting on builds and tests. Waiting on builds and tests is still a problem.92% of U.S.-based developers are already using AI coding tools both in and outside of work. AI is here and it’s being used at scale.Learn how generative AI is changing the developer experienceĭiscover how generative AI is changing software development in a pre-recorded session from GitHub. After all, there can be no progress without developers who are empowered to drive impact. Ultimately, the way to innovate at scale is to empower developers by improving their productivity, increasing their satisfaction, and enabling them to do their best work-every day. In the following report, we’ll show how organizations can remove barriers to help enterprise engineering teams drive innovation and impact in this new age of software development. To do so, we partnered with Wakefield Research to survey 500 U.S.-based developers at enterprise companies. As a starting point, we focused on some of the biggest components of the developer experience: developer productivity, team collaboration, AI, and how developers think they can best drive impact in enterprise environments. This is why I’m passionate about developer experience (DevEx) and have made it my focus as GitHub’s chief product officer.Īmid the rapid advancements in generative AI, we wanted to get a better understanding from developers about how new tools-and current workflows-are impacting the overall developer experience. I yearned for tools that would make me more efficient and shorten my time to production. Back then, it would take our models five days to process our larger datasets-which is striking considering the speed of today’s AI models. Decades ago, when I earned my master’s in mechanical engineering, I became one of the first technologists to apply AI in the lab. I say this not only as GitHub’s chief product officer, but as a long-time developer who has worked across every part of the stack. It’s the developer experience, which determines how efficiently and productively developers can exceed standards, enter a flow state, and drive impact. But the most important thing for developers isn’t story points or the speed of deployments. Developers today do more than just write and ship code-they’re expected to navigate a number of tools, environments, and technologies, including the new frontier of generative artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools.
