According to new research from Stanford University, approximately 9.5% of software engineers are classified as 'ghost' engineers, doing almost no work. This researcher noted that those classified as ghost engineers might have multiple jobs.
The study indicates that for many developers, the struggle against burnout is real, with nearly half of developers resorting to mental and physical health apps to manage stress arising from their workloads.
The research aimed to enhance the software development process by introducing an algorithm that automates complex code review tasks, which are often overlooked due to their subjective nature.
Despite the findings about ghost engineers, a significant portion of the workforce feels the pressure with statistics showing more than half of developers report feelings of being overworked and stressed.
