Trends in Developer Jobs: A Meta Analysis of Stack Overflow Surveys
I’m really interested in the trends we see in the software engineering job market. For example, here are some questions that I’d like to know the answer to: Does “DevOps” and increased cloud usage mean fewer traditional ops jobs?
The ratio of front-end/back-end engineers has stayed fairly consistent, with there being slightly less than twice as many back-end engineers than front-end engineers.
It’s worth pointing out that in 2016 the devops numbers actually eclipsed the “ops” numbers for a single year.
Interestingly “ops” has been trending down from the start, while “back-end” was trending up until 2016 when the trend reversed and it’s been down since.
