What is the biggest problem you face as a software developer today?

#webdev #programming #ai #startup

Hey everyone 👋

I'm exploring ideas for an AI-powered developer tool, but before building anything, I want to understand the real problems developers face every day.

There are already plenty of tools that generate code. What I'm interested in is everything around coding:

Debugging
Code reviews
Technical debt
Documentation
Dependency upgrades
Testing
Deployment
Architecture decisions
Learning large codebases

I'd love to hear from you:

A few questions:
What's the most frustrating part of your workflow?
What task takes more time than it should?
What's something you wish AI could do for you today?
Have current AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, etc.) failed you in any important way?
If you could eliminate one developer headache forever, what would it be?

I've also created a short 2-minute survey:

I'll happily share the survey results and key findings with the community once I collect enough responses.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
