The majority (58%) of the developers are considering stopping due to poor and old technical piles that reduce their efficiency and productivityhas claimed new research.
86% of the 200 developers investigated by CMS Firm Storyblok says that they are ashamed of their current technical stack, with almost half (47.5%) to stop in the past year as a result of their technical stack, and almost one in three (31%) is considering doing this alone in the past month.
The biggest frustration of developers is to maintain legacy systems and repair bugs on them (27.5%), while many are also fed up with non-technical stakeholders (21.5%). Thirdly, 14% increased a lack of clear requirements and shifting priorities that distract them from a clear end goal.
Developers are not happy with internal technology
In addition to the technical dissatisfaction, the developers emphasized how the technical stack with which they work influences their personal image.
Three -quarters (74%) of the respondents of the survey claimed that their technical stack significantly influences their professional identity, with one in five (19.5%) who says it defines them. On the other hand, only 2.5% say that it does not matter, which emphasizes the importance of sufficient tools and solutions.
In terms of their current technical piles, half (51%) of the developers are frustrated by a lack of important functionality and maintenance problems (47%), while many notice incompatibility with newer technologies and innovations such as AI (31%).
“The message to companies is clear – outdated tech stacks make your developers up to the point to stop,” said Storyblok CTO Alexander Feiglstorfer.
With only 4% of the respondents who believe their current CMS Fits in their needs, and two in three (67.5%) stating that it stops them, a better developer experience (29.5%), modern tech -stack integration (23.5%), performance and scalability (17.5%) and AI integration (12.5%) are among the most desired improvements.
Feiglstorfer added that wage increases are only a temporary solution to pacify developers, and that companies have to work for a “modernization route map” to improve the satisfaction and retention of developers.
