This graph was creating using Indeed.com‘s niftly Job Trends tool. What does it say? Not much really – to me it seems as though the software development market is pretty healthy.

And what about Ruby? I’m not sure it reveals anything – I suspect that its flatness has more to do with the hiring behavior of Ruby shops than anything else.
