What the Rails hiring trend shows

Rails defined the startup web stack of the early 2010s, and the 'Who is hiring?' thread captures that moment precisely: a strong early presence, then a slow decline as the ecosystem matured and alternatives multiplied. The chart shows that long tail - use share mode to watch Rails' slice shrink against Django and the JavaScript frameworks, and counts for absolute volume. Drill into any month to read the postings; the companies hiring Rails today tend to be established product shops running mature codebases.
