September 2018 Hacker News Hiring Trends
While there was a little bit of a shake-up internally within the Top 5 in September compared to previous months, the players mostly look familiar. At the top, React claimed its sixteenth win in a row, a streak that began in June, 2017. Following up in second as usual, Python continued its own streak. Making a first appearance in the Top 5 was "Full Stack", proving that the term is still alive and well. Rounding out the top 5 was node.js, its first Top 5 finish since May.
As far as hot technologies go, TypeScript is rocketing up the chart, coming in at #19, its first Top 20 finish as well being the #7 programming language.
