Survey Results
The 2025 Pragmatic Engineer survey and the Artificial Analysis AI Adoption survey represent two complementary efforts to understand current developer practices and technology preferences. Both surveys capture snapshots of the rapidly evolving landscape of programming tools and artificial intelligence adoption among developers in 2025. These surveys provide quantitative data on which technologies developers actively use, prefer, and plan to adopt in their work.
Tech Stack Adoption
The Pragmatic Engineer survey focuses broadly on developer technology stacks, examining the programming languages, frameworks, databases, and infrastructure tools that form the foundation of modern development work. This survey captures traditional technology preferences alongside emerging tools, offering insight into how established technologies coexist with newer solutions in production environments.
AI Tool Usage
The Artificial Analysis survey concentrates specifically on adoption patterns for AI-powered tools and services. It tracks which AI platforms, code generation assistants, and prompt engineering solutions developers integrate into their workflows. This survey reveals how AI tooling has moved from experimental to practical adoption across the developer community.
Comparative Insights
Together, these surveys illustrate the intersection of traditional development practices and AI-driven workflows. They demonstrate how developers are selectively incorporating AI tools into existing tech stacks rather than wholesale replacement of established practices, and highlight which categories of tools see highest adoption rates across different developer segments.
