We surveyed 800 developers recently to better understand what they are thinking because the stakes are high for both technology and tech-enabled companies. Developers are critical to key business processes – from building apps to digitally transforming more traditional businesses.

The 24-page report, available for free, goes into a lot of detail. Here are the highlights:
- Business pressures weigh on developers. The majority (69%) agree or strongly agree that upper management is keen to increase their productivity.
- Developers believe they know what hinders productivity. Two-thirds of the developers (66%) say maintenance of legacy systems and technical debt strain improved productivity.
