"Today, it is nearly impossible for anyone in a software development role to avoid AI technology. That's not a bad thing; individuals and teams can realize numerous potential benefits from AI-driven development. One thing is certain: Software developers who haven't already done so must adapt their skills to meet the demands of this new era. And they should do it quickly."
"The Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey, based on responses from more than 49,000 professional developers worldwide, showed that 84 percent of respondents were using or planning to use AI tools in their development workflow. That's an increase from the previous year, when 76 percent of respondents used or planned to use AI. By late 2025, about half of the survey respondents said they were already using AI tools daily."
""In our industry, the shift is obvious," Camacho says. "Internal workforce studies across several large enterprises show that a strong majority of developers are already using some form of AI assistance, and more than half of those companies now list AI and data-related skills as top hiring priorities. It feels similar to the early cloud wave, but the adoption curve is moving much faster.""
AI tools are now pervasive in software development, producing potential efficiency and capability gains for individuals and teams. Survey results from over 49,000 professional developers indicate rising adoption—84 percent using or planning to use AI tools, up from 76 percent—while about half reported daily AI tool use by late 2025. Many enterprises report that a strong majority of developers already use AI assistance and that AI- and data-related skills are top hiring priorities. The developer workflow is shifting from writing code to supervising, constraining, and reasoning about code generated by agents, driving urgent reskilling and new competencies.
