I’d rather go to the dentist, tbh – what devs hate most<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

What do you enjoy doing the most on a daily basis? How about spending a whole afternoon paying your bills?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, not entirely surprisingly. Over a quarter of developers (26%) would prefer doing exactly that; instead of devoting the same amount of time to identifying and fixing code bugs. And that’s not all. Over a fifth of coders (21%) would rather pay a visit to the dentist than debug a section of code. All according to a new survey by software firm Rollbar.<\/p>\n

Existing error monitoring methods are far from perfect and often fail to detect vital errors. That results in a third of all software developers having to spend up to 10 hours a week manually fixing bugs; instead of producing new code. And that’s only so that some Internet crusader can kindly let you know you’ve missed a critical flaw just after releasing the product.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As with many things tech, automation has a vital role in helping developers address this issue. Next-generation, AI-powered debugging tools are bound to become the programmer’s best friend.<\/p>\n

The top-paying .NET skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A new badge of reports by various tech industry actors has prompted Visual Studio Magazine to comb through the data to reveal the top-paying .NET and Microsoft-centric skills of the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Visual Basic occupies the fifth position in the list of top 10 programming languages of 2021, with C# being number 8.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s take on the SQL standard, Transact-SQL, is the top Microsoft-focused programming skill, with TypeScript, the company’s open-source take on JavaScript following next.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to certifications, the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) badge is the second-most popular certification, right behind CompTIA’s A+.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The state of database DevOps<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In today’s rapidly moving software development space, implementing a solid DevOps strategy has become a must for any team aspiring to be at the industry’s forefront.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Automating and streamlining processes throughout the software life cycle permits greater agility in developing the product and ensures higher levels of quality. But that’s not the only area in which Agile and CI\/CD philosophies can help.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With 70% of companies using more than one database in their stack thanks to cloud hybridisation, automating database changes and deployments is attracting growing attention.<\/p>\n

51% of businesses are already using some level of automation in their database deployments. These are lower adoption numbers compared to DevOps in software development, but a majority of companies plan on stepping up their continuous delivery efforts in the coming months.<\/p>\n
