Key findings

Our survey paints a comprehensive picture of an industry in transition.

ai

Low trust in AI

Despite AI's widespread use, developers remain skeptical of the output.

arrows pointing up on a diagonal

Usage growth everywhere

AI is used across all kinds of software projects, including mission-critical services.

secure

Security risks

Developers view security as the biggest concern surrounding AI adoption.

developer

The impact of experience

A developer's relationship with AI varies relative to their years of experience.

automatic

The "great toil swap"

Developers face similar levels of toil work whether they use AI tools frequently or not.

warning

Inconsistent verification

Less than half of developers always verify AI code before committing it.

Vibe check: What our developer survey uncovered

%
of developers don’t fully trust that AI-generated code is functionally correct
%
agree that AI often produces code that looks correct but isn't reliable
%
of developers worry that using AI risks exposing sensitive company or customer data
%
of a developer's work week is spent on toil work

About our dataset

Our findings are based on a quantitative sample of 1,149 respondents that represents the current reality of modern engineering teams around the world. All respondents:

  • Were 18 years old or older
  • Were employed full-time or self-employed in a technology role (the vast majority worked in software engineering)
  • Wrote code or managed developers using at least one programming language.
  • Had used AI as part of their job within the last year

The solution: Automated verification

Our survey results show that SonarQube users report stronger ROI on AI coding. This suggests that real productivity comes from speeding up the entire development lifecycle by effectively integrating "vibe" (generation) with a robust "verify" step.
