Although the survey didn't ask what kind of technical debt the respondents had to deal with in their jobs, I bet that one of the main causes of this technical debt is a lack of documentation. In other words, companies need to hire more technical writers and value the ones they do hire as experts in their field :) Furthermore, no kind of AI will be able to solve this lack of documentation. Why? Because documentation is made to be read and understood by humans. That's why!

#SoftwareDevelopment#Programming #TechnicalDebt #Coding: "According to the Workplace Satisfaction Survey, 80% of professional programmers are unhappy. One in three respondents actively hates their job, while almost half survive in survival mode. This leaves only 20% of those who claim to be somewhat happy. Although programmers are well-paid and often able to work remotely, many are still dissatisfied. Why is that so?

While developers are generally well paid, this year’s survey showed that software engineers’ salaries are decreasing. As an example, the median salary for PHP developers is relatively low, at $49,000 per year. This is a decrease compared to previous years, and only those who combine programming skills with entrepreneurship achieve significant financial success.
(...)
Technical debt is the number one cause of developer frustration. Working with imperfect systems demoralizes programmers, making it difficult to do quality work.

The pressure to meet deadlines is often extreme in the IT industry. Developers are under pressure to complete tasks as fast as possible in order to earn as much income as possible. Increased pressure in the workplace leads to unrealistic expectations and burnout. Changing jobs often can provide temporary relief by increasing income, but they end up in similar stressful situations and in new companies."

My talk "How (not) to sell technical debt" is online!

youtube.com/watch?v=iSj1DY34HJ

I gave this talk November 8th 2022 online to the dutch system architecting conference of bits & chips

I talked about ‘software essentials for executives’ to help executives avoid costly mistakes and ‘executive essentials for engineers’ to provide engineers with a few pointers that may help executives make better decisions.

A boost for reach would be appreciated!
