Forty-four percent of developers identified fixing bugs and errors as their biggest pain point.
More than half (52%) said they would rather use this time to build new features and functionality, while 42% said freeing up this time would allow them to simply "do their job".
Respondents said that having to spend so much time manually responding to errors hurt their job performance, morale and even their overall quality of life, with respondents reporting feelings of frustration, burnout, resentment and even wanting to quit their jobs.
