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. buff.ly/8YvrUrY

Almost half (48%) of all robot.txt tokens on websites totally restrict what content can be accessed in '24, that's up 23% just from just 23% in '23 This means that the open web is being destroyed by website owners that are blocking content from scrapers feeding LLM & other AI models buff.ly/uhK3hpx

Big drop in fear about TikTok's impact on US national security. This is putting pressure on hardliners to make a deal with China or risk backlash -- and that's not even considering the trade war issue.

Observability and monitoring — not security — is the most cited challenge when moving ML models into production, according to a new survey. buff.ly/RG36xnQ

— Assessing public cloud costs is less challenging for enterprises migrating workloads vs 2024 — 21% of workloads in public cloud have been repatriated, per those at 1,000+ employee companies. For every 5 workloads that have migrated to the public cloud, 1 has been repatriated buff.ly/vUIlTFb

Cloud sustainability stats: — 36% of survey already have a defined sustainability initiative that includes carbon footprint tracking of cloud use. Another 21% plan to launch one within the next year. — 57% prioritize cloud costs vs sustainability ...

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.

A good article about #agentic AI in #AppDev and #DevOps

ICYMI: Experts do not think migration of workloads to private and on-premises clouds will outpace the movement to public clouds.

ICYMI: AI-assisted development will challenge developers as they review the quality of the code generated and integrate tools into their workflows.

Wrote up my thoughts on @github.com npm and the JavaScript package registry startups @vlt.sh vsr & @deno.land JSR. There's a lot going on around JS/TS, Node.js package management and registries—and a whole lot of history. redmonk.com/kholterhoff/...

ICYMI: Despite long-term optimism, there is significant concern that many internal AI agent projects will be abandoned in 2025, our survey participants said.

Dev productivity or experience is regularly assessed at least quarterly at 53% of companies that track these metrics. More charts at https://buff.ly/4h12vgE
