I'm not seeing your email in your profile. Adding it to your "about" section should make it public.


Sorry, just added it.


For what it's worth, the site aside from the trends page is mobile friendly. The trends pages are something I thought would be cool to throw together with the data I have on the topic and admittedly haven't spent enough time trying to make sure it works everywhere.

edit: should be fixed now


On Firefox mobile it's not about getting everything to work, just basics because the page is quite useless on that browser.


Apparently,the experience is unusable or terrible in Safari for iOS and Chrome for Android also, but I too came here to complain about it being completely unusable on Firefox Mobile. Hello, fellow Firefox Mobile user!


Thanks, I'll work on that. I posted a comment outlining some notable things from it, hope that helps for now.

Some fluctuations I noticed when comparing the trends from last month and now:

- Go took a dip in demand, down from the 6th most mentioned language in listings to 8th.

When looking at trends from all 2017 reports:

- The top languages steadily in demand this year have been: Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, SQL, CSS, HTML, Go, C, and C++

- The top four application frameworks have fairly steadily been: Rails, Spring, Flask, and Django

- React is the top choice when it comes to UI libraries/frameworks. Angular doesn't seem to be gaining on it, and mentions of jQuery have been steadily declining.

- The top three databases/stores have steadily been PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis


I started https://www.latitude.work with the goal of featuring quality opportunities for other software engineers in a way that puts the information up front that's important to us. I stayed away from only having paid listings since that seems like a race to the bottom and am focusing on having a great experience for engineers. Would love any feedback on it.


Being an extrovert or an introvert has nothing to do with shyness. You can certainly be introverted and not very shy. Bill Gates is a great example of that.


Nice, thank you.


He mentioned using cloc to get that metric, so not including comments, formatting, etc.


I think you missed the point: the point is that the correct English usage is "fewer than" when discussing quantifiable items (e.g., lines of code). The title should be "...an editor in fewer than 1000 lines of code."


Thank you for clarifying. I thought for a second it could have been a grammatical nitpick but discounted that since this thread is re: an Antirez post. I personally would be very sad if his writing style became more forced and began to feel like excerpts from The Elements of Style.


This page [0] seems to suggest that "less is also used with numbers when they are on their own and with expressions of measurement or time".

Lines of code is surely a measurement, which makes the use of 'less' here acceptable.

Authentic Jobs is one of the more old school places that heavily catered to web design type work. A more accurate assessment of this data may be that web design work is drying up, but we've known that for a while. It's hard to say since they don't mention the competitors they are tracking, but they may serve the same shrinking market as well.


I've seen a drastic drop off of jobs on Angel List. In 2013 there were roughly 10,000+ remote jobs available in the US. Today it's down to hundreds. I'd be interested in a full scale research effort.


this might be more related to angellist getting its act together and cleaning up expired listings, of which they had thousands
