Lot of very sad data but a couple of bright points:

- 50% are thinking somewhat-to-very unlikely they'll be changing careers in the next 5 years

- 42% are hopeful or excited about the tech industry

That's bright?

Roughly half of devs feeling happy and secure about the next 5 years is a LOT better than I expected.

Wonder what the selection bias is like on something like this

I, for one, have grown exhausted of these surveys so haven't participated for a couple years now.

Look at demographics → https://2026.stateofdevs.com/en-US/demographics/ (especially “Number Of Kids”)

Natural selection at work, somehow. This isn't a dig at people without kids, you do you, I just find it interesting that our brightest minds also tend to be leaves on the tree, never becoming branches. They just leave their toys for the rest to play with, kind of undermining our actual progress.

Looks bad

> while Japan shows the highest immigration levels among respondents, this is almost certainly due to the survey failing to reach the native Japanese population more than to any real demographic trend.

So we are admitting that the result is useless?

> despite being known as “a nation of immigrants”, only 17% of respondents from the U.S. have immigrant roots, versus 22% overall.

What was he expecting? 100%? From what I can find, US first born immigrant % is about 16%, so basically within the massive margins of error this thing has, this is a non result.

I don't think this thing is designed to elicit anything useful except vibes & giving the author a platform to pontificate.
