The larger the company, the more likely a developer is to be using GitHub Copilot. This is does not hold true for other AI-coding tools that do not have a sales force to target enterprise-size customers. buff.ly/4AnaO1F cc @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com

A few more conclusions about web devs and AI:
—59% agree that AI is an integral part of their workflow
—AI-generated code requires refactoring. 76% percent of developers have to rewrite or refactor at least half of the outputted code before it’s ready to be used.

Claude, Supermaven and Cursor users are much more likely to say they had a positive experience than users of other AI-based developer tools.
These are just some of the many findings we uncovered in “The 2025 State of Web Dev AI” report.

While lower than last year, 52% of Java devs say their company is adding new Java developers this year. It seems as if they focused on hiring rather than using dev tools to supplement the workforce.
Of the six obstacles asked about, “insufficient developer tools” got the fewest votes (24%). No wonder fewer companies are adding budget for this. See the chart below, that shows only 34% say their company is increasing their budget for Java dev tools.
