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.

What listeners think

Awesome Python Goodness
This is the podcast that got me into listening to nearly only technical ones. All the episodes are fun and informative, and I can't recommend it enough for every Pythonista (and others).

Again it was Talk Python
And again it was Talk Python who led me to this discovery. Highly recommend anyone that have a few months of Python development experience to give this a listen. Very casual, yet professional and thoroughly useful.
