Report: The major challenges for development teams in 2023

Finding developers with the right set of skills for the job will continue to be a major challenge for businesses in 2023. 

The US Department of Labor is estimating that there will be a shortage of 85.2 million developers by 2030, and over a third of respondents to Reveal’s latest survey on development struggles said that they are continuing to struggle with finding developers that have the necessary skills. 

According to Reveal, companies are attempting to overcome the skills challenge by adopting new technologies that will lower demand on developers, such as low-code tools.

Using low-code tools has solved the challenges associated with the developers skills shortage in 76% of organizations, according to the report. 

“This approach is helping alleviate the demand for developers by reducing the need for heavy hand-coding in areas like screen design, UX flows, theming, and branding and can all but eliminate the need for manual HTML & CSS tweaking,” the report states.

The survey found that the hardest roles to fill are DevOps engineer, data analytics developer, and IT security engineer.

The second biggest challenge, cited by another third of respondents, is keeping existing employees safe, and the third biggest challenge is limited resources. 

Development teams plan to improve resource utilization by improving project management (30%), improving designer/developer collaboration (30%), using software that will work for citizen developers (27%), utilizing remote staff (25%), and incorporating a data or analytics catalog (25%).

“Over the past three years, workers have been faced with a series of unexpected challenges — the COVID-19 pandemic, an economic downturn, and a volatile work environment– which is pushing employers to do more to assure workers are protected. Employers that take steps to protect their employees will be more likely to retain them, especially in light of the developer shortage,” according to the report.

Developers themselves are also struggling with a number of issues, including not being able to keep up with developer tool innovation, difficulty with third party integration, struggle to manage workloads, security threats, project management, and client expectations that are too high.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
