"Google released its 2025 DORA software development report . DORA (DevOps Research & Assessment) is a research program at Google (part of the Google Cloud organization). DORA explores the capabilities and factors that drive software delivery and operations performance. This year, the DORA project surveyed 5,000 software development professionals across industries and followed up with more than 100 hours of interviews. It may be one of the most comprehensive studies of AI's changing role in software development, especially at the enterprise level."
"According to survey respondents, somewhere between 90 and 95% rely on software development for work. The report mentions 95% in the intro and 90% later in a detail section, but regardless of which number you choose, nearly all coders are now using AI. According to the report, this is a 14% jump from last year. The median time spent interacting with an AI was two hours per day."
A large-scale survey of 5,000 software development professionals and over 100 hours of interviews shows dramatic AI penetration in development work. Between 90% and 95% of developers now rely on AI, representing a 14% year-over-year increase. Median interaction time with AI is about two hours per day. Usage patterns vary: small groups always use AI while many use it sometimes or about half the time. AI usage increases productivity potential while also amplifying existing dysfunctions. High-quality development platforms and tooling are necessary to realize AI benefits and mitigate risks.
