TEC Talks Podcast: Unhappy Programmers

Phoenix, Arizona

Episode description

Join us today as we discuss and react to the most surprising headline from the StackOverflow 2024 Developer Survey - apparently, 80% of programmers are not happy?

To be more specific - only 20% of programmers explicitly stated they were actually happy, while the rest indicated complacency or unhappiness.

This is a special episode where we have three guests: TEC board members Andrew Karnes and Connor Johnson, community member Ryan Jones. Hosted by TEC CTO and board member Charles (Chuck) Knox.
