  Ah ha, that's why. I publish whoishiring technology trends every month[1] and was curious about the change. Fortunately the API allows a list of users, making it an easy thing to handle.

  I assume that was just a DST issue. The bot posted it an hour later than usual, and the DST transition (for the US) took place between the March and April posts.

    Ah so that's why. Good catch.
