HN "Who's Hiring" Language, Framework, Data, & Mobile Trends
- ianterrell 15y agoThis is really neat information, but the first three graphs are messy. It would be more interesting to me to see only the high performers/growers with clearer labels.
- tathagatadg 15y agoAwesome :)
- libria 15y agoWhat happened in March that made companies get spendy?
- stuntmouse 15y agoHiring for Q2 perhaps?
- ig1 15y agoI imagine it's because we started getting the who's hiring posted on the first of the month on a regular basis and because of that it got more upvotes so stayed on the front page longer and got more posts.

- georgemcfly 15y agoIn the mobile graph, I wonder why ios and iphone are separate lines.
- hardy263 15y agoI imagine it's because iPads also fall under the category of iOS.
- vanessa 15y agoI think iOS shows something slightly different about the employer's motivation, since they're deliberately including iPad by saying iOS vs narrowly referring to iPhone. Do you think charting them separately and also together would be better? Or just consolidate them and lose the subtle difference?
- georgemcfly 15y agoI think they should just be clumped together. There's no distinction between Android phones and tablets, so there shouldn't be for ios. Also, the development skills for the the two are largely the same.
- jzoidberg 15y agoGreat stuff - can we render them one per page? They are a little small to grok.
- nathanh 15y agoHere are larger graphs if you want to dive deeper. Languages: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218608e7Sn http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218608... Frameworks: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218611CKlH http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218611... Data: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218609ZmLn http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218609... Mobile: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218612WClO http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218612... Additionally, a few people have noted some terms that I need to merge. I'll try to update the graphs within a few hours.
- npollock 15y agoWould be great to see the language/framework also expressed as percentages of total posts over a period. Clearly there's a growth trend in job postings, would be nice to see the relative change in demand for each language/framework.
- IgorPartola 15y agoSort of, but if you are looking for a job and you are an expert at building web apps using C and MS SQL, then you don't care that it's an odd combination. You only care whether the number of openings is zero or non-zero.
- 3pt14159 15y agoMore easily read graphs (slightly ordered the categories in terms of popularity and removed small results) Language: http://i.imgur.com/vDeE3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vDeE3.jpg Framework: http://i.imgur.com/NDOMa.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NDOMa.jpg Data: http://i.imgur.com/Mio0j.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Mio0j.jpg Smarty phone: http://i.imgur.com/uUjHG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uUjHG.jpg
- BananaRepublic 15y agoThanks for the 'easier-to-read' stats! Judging by this it's a good thing that I learnt Python, because my C++ skills seem to be falling out of grace. Hmm... Javascript, maybe it's time to bite the bullet...
- 3pt14159 15y agoDo it man, JavaScript has gotten a lot better.
- wisty 15y agoRaw data here (http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S2159646ReZ http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S215964...) from their previous post here (http://wbills.posterous.com/59740254 http://wbills.posterous.com/59740254). Oh, there's a map. No Australia. ;(
- marknutter 15y agoNot surprising at all to see the spike in demand for Rails developers. In my local ruby users group we've seen a dramatic increase in the number of job postings for Ruby/Rails devs. I'm also not surprised that Javascript is the most sought after language, too. Everything uses it, regardless of the framework.
- odiroot 15y agoSorry to be that guy but these graphs are awful. Also, author should probably think about color-blind people.
- cool-RR 15y agoWhat about blind people? He should have clearly made audio versions of the graphs as well.
- cool-RR 15y agoI guess that the only reason that Ruby is as low as Python is because Rails is so popular that people don't need to mention the word "Ruby" anymore.
- rickmb 15y agoOdd. PHP still going strong in a relatively PHP-hostile demographic, but none of the major frameworks (Symfony, Zend) that make PHP a viable option, and the presence of Cake in this list seems out of place.
- Brewer 15y agoHow does one do something like this? What technologies did you use to get the data and to make the graphs?
