Sacha Greif, creator of the State of Devs 2025 survey, joins PodRocket to share insights on developer life beyond the code. We talk about sleep habits, mental health, job titles, workplace culture, and shifting values across regions. Learn why "engineer" titles often pay more, what developers worldwide think about Elon Musk, and how trends differ by country, gender, and company size.LinksWebsite: https://sachagreif.comX: https://x.com/sachagreifGithub: https://github.com/sachagLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sacha-greif-03b9a3255ResourcesState of Devs 2025: https://2025.stateofdevs.com/en-USChapters00:00 Intro & State of Devs 2025 Overview00:10 Why Developer Life Is More Than Code00:39 From State of JavaScript to State of Devs01:08 Expanding Surveys: AI & React Ecosystem01:21 Developer Life Beyond Code02:01 Designing Questions That Go Beyond Tech02:17 Sleep, Health, and Hobbies in Developer Life02:32 Reaching Underrepresented Groups in Tech Surveys03:30 Women’s Participation Rises to 15%04:00 Poor Sleep Tops Developer Health Issues05:15 Gender Differences in Workplace Conflict Response06:00 Average Developer Sleep: 6.9 Hours07:00 What Sleep Data Reveals About Developer Life09:15 Engineer vs Developer: Salary Gap Explained11:00 Company Size, Job Titles, and Pay Differences13:00 Inclusivity, Open Source, and Community Spaces15:15 How Age Impacts Discrimination in Tech17:00 Culture Shifts and Values in the Tech Industry18:45 Younger vs Older Devs on Free Speech and Politics20:30 Future Survey Topics: Leaders, Politics & Perception22:45 What the Data Reveals About Developer Diversity25:15 Using the Survey API to Explore Your Own Insights26:30 Fun Data Point: Minecraft Players & Relationships27:30 Predicting the Future of Developer Happiness30:15 Closing Thoughts & How to Join Next Year’s SurveyWe want to hear from you!How did you find us?
