In this report, we explore how professionals, hobbyists, and students involved in technology projects, hereinafter referred to as technology practitioners, use social media. More specifically, we examine the different ways social media is leveraged for staying informed, learning, networking, and problem-solving, analysing survey findings across role types, experience levels, and company types (startups vs non-startups).

Key questions answered:

• To what extent do technology practitioners rely on social media updates for information? 
• What are the main uses of social media updates for technology practitioners?
• How does social media usage differ based on experience in software development? 
• How does social media usage differ based on professional status? 
• How does social media usage differ based on company type - startups vs non-startup companies?
