Developer shortage remains a key challenge for the second year in a row, the 2023 Reveal Annual Software Developer Survey finds.

Keeping pace with innovation in developer tools, managing workload, security threats, and project management are other major pain points for 2023. The survey also revealed that software developers continue to struggle with communication and collaboration tools in the new digital environment.

To find out what obstacles faced developers in 2022 and bring to light their future challenges, we surveyed over 2,000 software developers and IT professionals to determine their biggest pain points, challenges, and areas for growth.
