The software industry is experiencing a surge in demand for new applications, with over 750 million new applications expected to be built by 2025. This has led to a significant shortage of developers, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics predicting that 400,000 more developers will be needed by the end of this decade. However, many developers are struggling to innovate due to high workloads, complex data architecture, and legacy systems that hinder productivity and efficiency. A recent survey found that only 28% of technology teams' time is spent working on defining and building new features and applications, while 72% is spent on managing infrastructure and administrative tasks. To overcome these challenges, organizations need to provide developers with the proper tools, simplify data architecture, and address legacy systems and technical debt to enable innovation and create quality work.
