- The outdated technological batteries are more than annoying; They are expelling the best developers in the industry
- Developers link their identity with technological batteries, and renounce when they feel ashamed by them
- Modern innovation cannot occur when developers are trapped in obsolete frames and without exit systems
An increasing number of developers is rethinking their careers due to outfined and inefficient technology batteries, according to new research.
A survey conducted by Storyblok revealed that they reveal more than half (58%) of high -level developers in medium to large companies are considering leaving their work due to the “inappropriate and ‘shameful” inadequate and’ “” technology batteries.
Among all participants, 86% said they feel ashamed of their current technological battery, with almost a quarter citing inherited systems such as the main reason.

Excessive technical debt and dependence on obsolete libraries and frames also contributed to their main taxpayers to their dissatisfaction.
Developers take their technological environment personally. An overwhelming 74% said that their technological battery has a “significant” impact on their professional identity, while 19.5% went further, saying that they “defined them.” Only 2.5% reported feeling indifferent.
This deep personal connection can help explain why 73% said they know at least one colleague who has resigned in the last year due to frustrations with their technological battery.
When asked to identify the biggest problems with their current battery, 51% pointed out the lack of central functionality. Another 47% highlighted maintenance challenges, while 31% expressed concern about limited compatibility with modern innovations such as AI.
Only 14% of respondents said they had nothing to be ashamed.
The situation is equally worrying when it comes to content management systems. The outdated CMS platforms were cited as main blockers, with 67.5% of developers who say their current CMS prevents them from doing their best work.
Almost half described this as a “constant” obstacle, and only 4% felt that their CMS was suitable for its purpose.
To retain developers, employers may have to choose between expensive payment increases or systemic changes. The survey found that 92% of developers would require at least a 10% salary increase to remain in their current roles in existing technological conditions, while 42% said they would need a 20% increase. Meanwhile, 15% said they would expect more than 25%.
“The outdated technological batteries are causing their developers to be unhappy to the point of quitting smoking. Salary increases are a short -term solution … If you want to return to your development team, you must commit to a modernization roadmap,” said Alexander Feiglstorfer, CTO and Co -founder of Storyblok.
