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

Thanks for sharing this and interesting as it shows a sad trend at the moment.
Note that September is particularly sad because it was posted on Labor Day (yesterday), a US federal holiday.
People post to it for days after the months starts.
Seems to cut off in March, perhaps abandoned?
Nope, it's all there, look again (maybe not great on mobile or something?)

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!
