#504: Developer Trends in 2025

MICHAEL KENNEDY
About this episode
What trends and technologies should you be paying attention to today? Are there hot new database servers you should check out? Or will that just be a flash in the pan? I love these forward looking episodes and this one is super fun. I've put together an amazing panel: Gina Häußge, Ines Montani, Richard Campbell, and Calvin Hendryx-Parker. We dive into the recent Stack Overflow Developer survey results as a sounding board for our thoughts on rising and falling trends in the Python and broader developer space.
