As a developer that has worked almost exclusively in startups for the past 16 years, I have not once had to create or even look at a Gantt chart. Most organizations I encounter follow the Agile principles (at least in a loose sense), which emphasizes getting things done over upfront planning. That's not to say that no planning is done, but it's more and more common to see Kanban-inspired processes where work is prioritized into a backlog and then pulled by a developer when they have capacity to work on it. Like I said, my experience is mostly in startups. YMMV.
