HNHiringTrends[1] is my goto site when I try to explain the current hiring sentiment of software.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hnhiringtrends.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hnhiringtrends.com</a>

As someone looking for a job. Oof.

my quick and dirty version of this from march was <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;hiring.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;hiring.png</a>. i only bothered to gather 7 years of data though<p>csv generation script at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;whoishiring.py" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;whoishiring.py</a> (taking as input <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;whoishiring.txt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;whoishiring.txt</a>, copied and pasted from firefox), png generation script at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;plothiring.py" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;canonical.org&#x2F;~kragen&#x2F;sw&#x2F;dev3&#x2F;plothiring.py</a><p>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(&#x27;whoishiring.txt.~1~&#x27;).st_mtime), although i think i ate dinner in the middle. clearly i should lean more on chatgpt<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;saulpw&#x2F;visidata">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;saulpw&#x2F;visidata</a> looks pretty cool!
