- kragen 2y agomy quick and dirty version of this from march was http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/hiring.png http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/hiring.png. i only bothered to gather 7 years of data though csv generation script at http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/whoishiring.py http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/whoishiring.py (taking as input http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/whoishiring.txt http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/whoishiring.txt, copied and pasted from firefox), png generation script at http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/plothiring.py http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/plothiring.py it, uh, probably took me more than the 5 minutes it reportedly took chatgpt. more like two and a half hours, judging from time.ctime(os.stat('whoishiring.txt.~1~').st_mtime), although i think i ate dinner in the middle. clearly i should lean more on chatgpt https://github.com/saulpw/visidata https://github.com/saulpw/visidata looks pretty cool!

- spdy 2y agoThanks for sharing this and interesting as it shows a sad trend at the moment.
- necubi 2y agoNote that September is particularly sad because it was posted on Labor Day (yesterday), a US federal holiday.
- WalterSear 2y agoPeople post to it for days after the months starts.
- phendrenad2 2y agoSeems to cut off in March, perhaps abandoned?
- durandal1 2y agoNope, it's all there, look again (maybe not great on mobile or something?)
