DeveloperWeek 2023

Jody Bailey, Chief Technology Officer, Stack Overflow

Cloud, blockchain, and machine learning are three of the biggest trends right now. They are also prompting the most questions from the developer community. On Stack Overflow, technical questions around blockchain have increased by over 80% every year since 2010, cloud questions by over 50%, and machine learning questions by nearly 50%. Across the 50 million questions and answers from over 100 million visitors monthly, Stack Overflow is seeing an upswing in open source compiler languages and frameworks like Python and Svelte that fuel interactive tech, including machine learning, that thrive in cloud environments. So what does this tell us about what lies ahead? In this talk, Stack Overflow CTO Jody Bailey will share a deep dive into the top three trends he’s seeing across the developer community, how developers are learning new technologies, and what their behavior is signaling about the future of technology.
