Everyone knows what entrepreneurship means, but another term has emerged to embody a similar spirit with a different execution: Intrapreneurship. An intrapreneur is an individual who thinks and acts entrepreneurially at their present job. Without leaving to start their own business, this person is effecting change in their company through new projects and initiatives that drive growth and innovation for the betterment of the individual, the team, and the company at large.

As businesses increasingly move their focus to mobile, hiring managers are actively recruiting for talented iOS and Android developers. These roles are becoming more important than ever as interest in apps rises each year, with total downloads hitting 90 billion in 2016. As a result, mobile developers are among the highest in demand of all developer job roles in 2017, after cloud/back-end developers.

We recently explored how wealthy countries (those defined as high-income by the World Bank) tend to visit a different set of technologies than the rest of the world. Among the largest differences we saw was in the programming language Python. When we focus on high-income countries, the growth of Python is even larger than it might appear from tools like Stack Overflow Trends, or in other rankings that consider global software development.

The developer lifestyle can be a solitary one, especially if you work remotely or are the only developer on a small team. The good news is that as developer jobs continue to rise, there are more resources than ever before available to both novice and expert developers alike.

At Stack Overflow, we’re a big fan of developer surveys. Developers win when they have open access to data about technology usage, development practices, and what employers pay. This is why we were so excited when GitHub released the results of their Open Source Survey, which looked at open source software development practices and communities.
