- Half of the developers thought about quitting smoking due to the deficient technological batteries this year
- A technological battery is more than productivity: defines many developers
- Storyblok CTO demands a complete modernization roadmap
The majority (58%) of developers are considering quitting smoking due to poor and inherited technological batteries that reduce their efficiency and productivity, as affirmed by new research.
86%of the 200 developers surveyed by the firm of CMS Storyblok say they are ashamed by their current technological battery, with almost half (47.5%) considering quitting smoking in the last year as a result of their technological battery, and almost one in three (31%) considering doing it only in the last month.
The greatest frustration of developers is to have to maintain inherited systems and solve them (27.5%), while many are also tired of having to deal with non -technical interested parties (21.5%). Third, 14% increased the lack of clear requirements and changing priorities that distract them from a clear final objective.
Developers are not happy with internal technology
In addition to technological dissatisfaction, developers highlighted how the technological battery with which they are working affects their personal image.
The three quarters (74%) of the survey respondents affirmed that their technological pile significantly influences their professional identity, with one in five (19.5%) as far as saying that defines them. On the other hand, only 2.5% say it does not matter, highlighting the importance of adequate tools and solutions.
In terms of their current technological batteries, half (51%) of developers are frustrated with a key lack of functionality and maintenance difficulty (47%), while many noticed incompatibility with newer technologies and innovations such as AI (31%).
“The message for companies is clear: obsolete technological batteries are making their developers unhappy to the point of quitting smoking,” said Storyblok Cto Alexander Feiglstorfer.
With only 4%of respondents believe that their current CMS conforms to their needs, and two out of three (67.5%) indicate that they stop them, a better developer experience (29.5%), the integration of the modern technological battery (23.5%), the performance and the scalability (17.5%) and the integration of AI (12.5%) are among the most desired improvements.
Feiglstorfer added that salary increases are only a temporary solution for Pacify developers, and that companies should commit to a “modernization roadmap” to improve the satisfaction and retention of the developer.
