In this episode, CJ and Colin dig into the results of the 2022 StackOverflow Survey including the most loved and dreaded technologies and how developers are learning in 2022.
In May 2022 over 70,000 developers told us how they learn and level up, which tools they’re using, and what they want.

Interesting Highlights
Daily time spent searching for answers/solutions - 60% spend 30-120 minutes a day
88% of Professional Developers code outside of work, with 73% of them coding as a hobby.
66% of Professional Developers have at least some influence over their organization’s purchases of new technologies. This is up from 56% in 2020 when we last asked this question. Unsurprisingly, senior-level positions have the greatest amount of influence when purchasing new technologies. But with the exception of students, at least 60% of all developer types have at least some influence on purchasing.
85% of developers say their organizations are at least partially remote.
No other technology is as widely used as Git (93%). Especially among Professional Developers. But for those learning to code, 17% still do not use a version control system.
With Professional Developers, we see some interest in wanting to use chat and video platforms other than they are using now.
