AI and Machine Learning weren't mentioned. Neither were DevOps or systems-y/database-y types.

    I imagine "devops" is a term that gets included in the description of a lot of standard developer jobs ("knowledge of devops is a bonus" for example), which would skew the results of that search quite considerably.

    So I just spent like 10 minuted playing with that tool. It looks like Software Developer and Software Engineer job posts are on a clear downward trend when everything I've heard doesn't agree with that. Why do you think that is? http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Software-Engineer-q-Software-Developer.html?relative=1 http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Software-Engineer-q-Softwa...

      Maybe the postings have become more specific- Instead of a general Software Engineer, They're posting "Front End Developer" or something even more specific than that.

Good to see blockchain pitches disappear. But they'll probably come back after the halvening. Any way, more room for the more useful blockchain products, if investors will still have an ear for it.

  I feel the same way about IoT. The downward trend is a good thing for the start-ups that stay focus. Let's not forget the days when the web was 'over'...

  For those that are wondering the next halvening is projected to be in mid July. 75% of all bitcoins will have been mined. See more here: http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/# http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/#

VR is definitely trending. I'm working on a startup currently. I'm the technical and product side of a two person team. My business focused partner in passing asked if it would be possible to integrate VR into the platform. VR literally adds nothing, these trends can be toxic as they are productive.

The problem with understanding trends is that people naturally tend to think that the past predicts the future. What they forget is that what goes up, usually goes down. This is true in the vast majority of cases except for certain occasions (rise of internet, mobile, cloud). This is why hype such as 3d printing, VR, AI, IoT, chat bots, are just that -- hype, until we arrive at the point in time where the exact necessary breakthrough occurs for each, but I don't see it yet in many of todays cases.
