Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2026

I just took it, spent about 20m on it. It is:

  • 1/6th basic developer info
  • 2/6ths clear marketing research for some sort of AI attribution knowledgebase project they clearly want to build
  • 1/6th some technology choice questions (about halfway through for me, Elixir stuff is represented)
  • 2/6ths AI usage questions

Unsurprisingly, you cannot say you avoid AI because of quality issues.
