Talk Python to Me: #504: Developer Trends in 2025

What trends and technologies should you be paying attention to today? Are there hot new database servers you should check out? Or will that just be a flash in the pan? I love these forward looking episodes and this one is super fun. I've put together an amazing panel: Gina Häußge, Ines Montani, Richard Campbell, and Calvin Hendryx-Parker. We dive into the recent Stack Overflow Developer survey results as a sounding board for our thoughts on rising and falling trends in the Python and broader developer space.<br/> <br/> <strong>Episode sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/nordlayer'>NordLayer</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/auth0'>Auth0</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Courses</a><br/> <br/> <h2 class="links-heading">Links from the show</h2> <div><strong>The Stack Overflow Survey Results</strong>: <a href="https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >survey.stackoverflow.co/2024</a><br/> <br/> <strong>Panelists</strong><br/> <strong>Gina Häußge</strong>: <a href="https://chaos.social/@foosel?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >chaos.social/@foosel</a><br/> <strong>Ines Montani</strong>: <a href="https://ines.io/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >ines.io</a><br/> <strong>Richard Campbell</strong>: <a href="https://about.me/richard.campbell?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >about.me/richard.campbell</a><br/> <strong>Calvin Hendryx-Parker</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/calvinhp?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >github.com/calvinhp</a><br/> <br/> <strong>Explosion</strong>: <a href="https://explosion.ai?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >explosion.ai</a><br/> <strong>spaCy</strong>: <a href="https://spacy.io?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >spacy.io</a><br/> <strong>OctoPrint</strong>: <a href="https://octoprint.org?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >octoprint.org</a><br/> <strong>.NET Rocks</strong>: <a href="https://www.dotnetrocks.com?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >dotnetrocks.com</a><br/> <strong>Six Feet Up</strong>: <a href="https://sixfeetup.com?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >sixfeetup.com</a><br/> <strong>Stack Overflow</strong>: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >stackoverflow.com</a><br/> <strong>Python.org</strong>: <a href="https://www.python.org/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >python.org</a><br/> <strong>GitHub Copilot</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/features/copilot?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >github.com</a><br/> <strong>OpenAI ChatGPT</strong>: <a href="https://chat.openai.com/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >chat.openai.com</a><br/> <strong>Claude</strong>: <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/index/introducing-claude?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >anthropic.com</a><br/> <strong>LM Studio</strong>: <a href="https://lmstudio.ai/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >lmstudio.ai</a><br/> <strong>Hetzner</strong>: <a href="https://www.hetzner.com?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >hetzner.com</a><br/> <strong>Docker</strong>: <a href="https://www.docker.com?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >docker.com</a><br/> <strong>Aider Chat</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >github.com</a><br/> <strong>Codename Goose AI</strong>: <a href="https://block.github.io/goose/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >block.github.io/goose/</a><br/> <strong>IndyPy</strong>: <a href="https://www.indypy.org/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >indypy.org</a><br/> <strong>OctoPrint Community Forum</strong>: <a href="https://community.octoprint.org?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >community.octoprint.org</a><br/> <strong>spaCy GitHub</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/explosion/spaCy?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >github.com</a><br/> <strong>Hugging Face</strong>: <a href="https://huggingface.co/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >huggingface.co</a><br/> <strong>Watch this episode on YouTube</strong>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VZEJ8FstEQ" target="_blank" >youtube.com</a><br/> <strong>Episode transcripts</strong>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/episodes/transcript/504/developer-trends-in-2025" target="_blank" >talkpython.fm</a><br/> <br/> <strong>--- Stay in touch with us ---</strong><br/> <strong>Subscribe to Talk Python on YouTube</strong>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/youtube" target="_blank" >youtube.com</a><br/> <strong>Talk Python on Bluesky</strong>: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/talkpython.fm" target="_blank" >@talkpython.fm at bsky.app</a><br/> <strong>Talk Python on Mastodon</strong>: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/web/@talkpython" target="_blank" ><i class="fa-brands fa-mastodon"></i>talkpython</a><br/> <strong>Michael on Bluesky</strong>: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mkennedy.codes?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >@mkennedy.codes at bsky.app</a><br/> <strong>Michael on Mastodon</strong>: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/web/@mkennedy" target="_blank" ><i class="fa-brands fa-mastodon"></i>mkennedy</a><br/></div>
