What the Python hiring trend shows

Python is one of the most-requested languages across the entire history of the Hacker News 'Who is hiring?' thread, and the chart shows why: its share of postings has held remarkably steady while the language quietly absorbed web, data and machine-learning work. Use the share toggle to see Python's slice of the market each month, switch to raw counts to watch absolute hiring volume rise and fall with the macro cycle, and drill into any month to read the actual postings - the seniority, the stacks paired with it, and the companies doing the hiring.
