  HNHiringTrends[1] is my goto site when I try to explain the current hiring sentiment of software.

  my quick and dirty version of this from march was 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 (taking as input 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

  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 looks pretty cool!
