Even checking your email was such a hassle. Nowadays, we can be online with literally only the tip of our fingertips. Just tap our phones and voila&#8211;we have access to the internet and the gazillion of apps and web services associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accompanying this drastic change in (and need for) technology over the last couple of decades, the role of a developer has evolved significantly. It&#8217;s no longer just blindly producing code and software all day long. The daily challenges that a developer encounters have become much more multidimensional: constantly solving complex problems, keeping up to date with new technologies and methodologies, while also staying innovative and ethical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more responsibilities and an increasing importance in the workforce, developers are looking for more than just a paycheck from their employers. They want a workplace where they feel good and have their work recognized and rewarded.<br><br>At CodinGame, we know what developers want. Our mission is to empower them to learn from their peers, level up and land jobs they deserve, no matter their educational or professional background. By listening to the needs of our community of one million programmers since 2014, we&#8217;ve come to fully understand what drives them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning of 2018, we surveyed 6,128 developers. We learned what they value in their work, skills they\u2019d like to acquire, tools that make their everyday work life better and pretty much all the other stuff that makes them stay in (or change) their workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ended up with interesting facts such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>68% of developers consider that the ability to learn new things is more important than salary when considering a new job opportunity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machine learning is the number 1 skill that developers would like to acquire in 2018; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Developers who work in small companies are more professionally fulfilled than those working in large groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to discover the rest. We hope you\u2019ll find some useful insights on hiring and retaining your tech talent.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"\n\tsurvey-report-toc-block\n\t\n\" data-block-name=\"coderpad-survey-report-toc\" data-block-bg-color=\"black\" data-block-rounded-corners=\"all\" data-block-padding-top=\"extra-large\" data-block-padding-bottom=\"large\" data-block-margin-top=\"extra-extra-large\" data-block-margin-bottom=\"extra-extra-large\" >\n\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"#education\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#education\">1.
