- Containers are reaching a tipping point,
with 49 percent of developers now using them. With container technology
and management tools advancing at a rapid pace over the last year,
containers are becoming a go-to tool in the developer arsenal.
- Serverless computing is in a much earlier stage of adoption,
with nearly half of developers failing to clearly understand what it
is. One of the biggest challenges developers report when it comes to
serverless is monitoring and debugging.
- Opportunity for growth and development is the most important thing developers want in their jobs,
so it’s unsurprising this is the top reason they leave them. Companies
that are deliberate about creating long-term paths for their developers
are more likely to retain their technical workforce.
- Bootcamp participants feel more prepared for the workforce than college graduates. However, nearly half feel it can sometimes be a disadvantage in job interviews.
- Likewise, employers are still warming to bootcamp graduates.
While the majority of hiring managers say they make no distinction
between bootcamp vs. college graduates, 48 percent have not filled any
positions with a bootcamp graduate in recent years.
