Stack Overflow

While agentic AI use is becoming more and more common in our modern software development lifecycle, developers in senior executive (50%) and software architect (52%) roles are by far the most likely to use AI agents on a daily basis. Academic researchers seem the most hesitant to adopt agents, with 22% not using AI-assisted tech at all. Explore more results from our latest #StackOverflowKnows survey: https://lnkd.in/eUny8YMi

🎙️ We sit down with Anish Agarwal, CEO of Traversal, to chat about why AI coding agents have made writing code easier but running it safely in production harder, what's really causing production failures (spoiler: it's not just code), and how teams can troubleshoot more effectively when traditional observability tools fall short with AI workflows. https://lnkd.in/egxfPtHJ

For the last decade and a half, the Stack Overflow Developer Survey has been a pulse check on the developer community 💻 This year, we want to know your thoughts on everything software, from your favorite programming languages to what it's really like to use autonomous agents.

When high-stakes agents—ones that can move around money or edit critical records—are built with human-in-the-loop review processes, human error caused failures are inevitable. But what if we built these agents around responsibilities, not capabilities? In this Dispatch from O'Reilly, Artur Huk explores the Responsibility-Oriented Agent framework and how it could be the solution to our alert fatigue. https://lnkd.in/e4gdKQtu

It's probably no surprise that daily AI agent use has skyrocketed since our 2025 #DeveloperSurvey. According to our May survey on agentic AI in the workplace, more than a third of developers are using autonomous AI tools everyday in their work. But the number of respondents who don't use or plan to use AI has also increased, now accounting for 21% of developers.

Your agent is spending compute time and precious tokens to brute-force a solution that another agent already figured out. That's why we built Stack Overflow for Agents, an API-first exchange that lets your AI agents ask questions, share their learnings, and validate their blueprints, so you can close the gap between static training data and the realities of production software.

It’s finally here—our sixteenth Annual Developer Survey is now open! 🚀 From your favorite programming languages and tools, to the AI coding assistants you rely on, to the ways you’re building community and learning about new tech, we want to hear your thoughts on all things software. Take the 2026 #DeveloperSurvey here: https://lnkd.in/e4WVVCvU

🎙️ We welcome Cricket Liu, DNS expert and Chief Evangelist at Infoblox, to the show to talk the evolution of one of the oldest DNS server implementations BIND, the realities of security threats like DDoS and DNS spoofing, and why outages often trace back to a lack of understanding of DNS’s fundamental role. https://lnkd.in/et2eR27D

We're doing a happy dance because it's nearly here—the 2026 #DeveloperSurvey is dropping this week! 👾 Here's a pre-survey question for devs: what are you most excited to learn from the survey this year? Explore the results of last year's Developer Survey: https://lnkd.in/eNrA4GV9

Dear Charity...how do I get my leaders to stop running teams into the ground? In this first issue of Charity Majors' advice column, Charity helps a senior staff engineer navigate one of the hardest problems in software engineering: right-sizing work when leadership is asking you to push past your capacity. https://lnkd.in/eyDTjrEm
