In relation to their attitudes towards meetings, 68% said they generally enjoyed them, however, only 27% considered their meetings productive. On needing help with a work problem, robots were preferred to people. 34% of developers said they now turn to AI for the answer, with only 20% saying they would ask a colleague."
"68% of developers believe they will be more productive and happier if they were given the option of working a four day week, even if it meant working longer hours. When it comes to their working environment, the top genre of music to listen to while working for developers was classical (16.5%), followed by lo-fi (15.5%) and hip-hop (14%). Outside of drinking coffee to spur productivity, developers listed energy drinks (15%), healthy snacks (8%), and water (9.5%) as their top choices."

Nearly half identified outside working hours as their most productive time. Most developers enjoy meetings, yet only a minority find meetings productive.
