Developers Expose What's Breaking Productivity in Their Companies
summary
JetBrains survey reports over 20,000 responses overall and a dedicated DevEx/DP sample of ~6,000 developers and 2,000 managers, finding parity between technical and non‑technical drivers of productivity, yet almost half say tool satisfaction isn’t measured and nearly ~60% distrust current metrics. Managers combine DORA (top: deployment frequency, lead time for changes) with SPACE (satisfaction/well‑being); team leads often own measurement; 85% use at least one AI tool and expect it to handle boilerplate, not replace creative work.
