Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2026

There has been a thread to discuss the Stack Overflow Developer Survey on this forum every year since 2018, so here’s yet another one for 2026 :slightly_smiling_face:. This year, our ecosystem is once again well represented with Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, and Phoenix available as technology options!

SO Blog post: The 2026 Developer Survey is now open (for human developers only)! - Stack Overflow

I just took it, spent about 20m on it. It is:

  • 1/6th basic developer info
  • 2/6ths clear marketing research for some sort of AI attribution knowledgebase project they clearly want to build
  • 1/6th some technology choice questions (about halfway through for me, Elixir stuff is represented)
  • 2/6ths AI usage questions

Unsurprisingly, you cannot say you avoid AI because of quality issues.

Oh is there a technology section in this? I started taking this a week or two ago, went through the first two thirds and never saw a question about languages it was all AI stuff, maybe I missed it at the end? I’ll definitely take it if there is the chance to rep Elixir.

Yh I agree. I only filled it out until the elixir stuff and then gave up.
