Today is1024 Programmer's DayK-sister observed a set of data and an activity, and is sharing it with everyone. Happy holidays!
Stack Overflow The 2025 developer survey shows that...Approximately 84% of developers are already using or plan to use it. AI tool.
On the one hand, much basic, repetitive work is being...AI Replacement. On the other hand,AI The rise of Vibe Coding has brought a constant stream of fresh blood to the industry. Vibe Coding has become a buzzword this year.
Over the past few years, the technology industry has experienced significant growth and has also witnessed the "democratization" of development.
More and more professionals are starting to learn programming or explore new roles beyond traditional developer positions, such as designers, analysts, engineers, and so on.
According to SlashData's statistics at the beginning of 2025, the total number of developers worldwide had exceeded 47 million;
And this month JetBrains The annual report states that the number of professional developers worldwide has reached approximately 20.8 million.
This year,AI Programming tools have flourished, and the development process has been completely rewritten.
VS Code remains the mainstream choice, with a usage rate as high as 76%. But it's no longer just a simple editor. Various...intelligentPluginsLarge ModelWith the support of [unclear], developers no longer need to type code character by character, but instead [unclear] AI Collaborate to complete the development process.
At the same time, the new generation AI IDEs are on the rise.
CursorWindsurf and similar programsAI IDEs can now understand project structure and user intent. They canautomaticIt generates module code, completes interfaces, and even proactively offers optimization suggestions when you modify code.
AI It's no longer just a tool for writing code, but a partner that can fight alongside us.
according to Grand View Research The report,AI The market size for programming tools was approximately $4.86 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $26 billion by 2030..
The rapid growth in market size also meansAI Programming is becoming mainstream.
The underlying ecosystem of the programming world is alsofastchange.
JetBrains' Q1 2025 Developer Ecosystem Report shows that the most widely used languages by developers globally are, in order: JavaScript.
ButMachine Learning/artificialintelligentIn this field, Python, with its mature ecosystem andpowerfulScientific computing library, becoming AI It is the most core language in research and engineering practice, with a usage rate as high as 75.3%.
The capabilities of the underlying model are also evolving rapidly.
In 2024, mainstream models like Gemini 1.0 ProGPT-4-Turbo can only perform relatively basic functions such as function completion and code generation.SimpleThe task.
By 2025,Claude 3.5 Sonnet achieved a score of 49% on the SWE-bench Verified benchmark, which more closely resembles real-world engineering.,AI Already able toopen sourceCangzhongautomaticLocate and fix the actual bug.
At the end of last month,Domestic Smart Spectrum Releaseup to dateThe programming model GLM-4.6 outperformed [previous technologies] in multiple real-world tests. Claude Sonnet 4 has become one of the strongest programming models in China.
AlthoughAIProgramming still has a lot of room for development, but the trend is irreversible.
On Programmer's Day, I looked back at the code I had written over the past year.
A liberal arts student who couldn't even distinguish between functions, yet relied on... AI We've created several projects that are actually running.
AI The threshold wasn't lowered; it was rewritten.
Those who don't know how to use it will be left behind by the times.
Finally, for the same level of use AI Here's a treat for my fellow programmers.
