Stackoverflow 2025 Developer Survey -> survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/

When technologists distrust AI, they rely on human expertise. Over 75% consult a human expert if AI answers seem untrustworthy, and about 61% do so when they have security concerns about AI’s output.

That's a good point and a neat way to grasp the data. Having a comparison might build up understanding; currently tough to grasp what the data tells you.

wish I know how data is collected and what growth really means.

I’m curious how Stack Overflow gathers its salary data because the widespread increases it reports don’t match what I’m hearing in my dev circle, where many say their pay is actually flat or even down. Has anyone else seen similar discrepancies?

Dev are seeing consistent growth in salaries, Product Managers (29.3%) and Applied Scientists (28.9%) saw the highest percentage increase in salary compared to 2024, with Data Engineers (5.1%) seeing the lowest increase overall.
