this is awesome (and scary...). Just to confirm: the numbers all originate from the 702 jobs in the initial report with connections to similar roles that you guys made?
Yep the original report focused on 702 jobs, and we just report the same, but we've added synonyms so if you search something that isn't the same job title as in the report we link you to the job that was listed. Lots of fuzzy matching on the job titles too.
Interesting. Determining whether job titles are interchangeable is an data science project unto itself!
Really fun read and so cool that many sites picked it up. Great job!
Thanks! It definitely was fun to see all the surges in traffic.
Now back to the boring work :)
Awesome :), congrats.
Thanks, has been a fun ride! Not sure where it will lead, but it's already opened a few doors we weren't expecting, perhaps a further post to discuss that later.
Great story. Awesome that you posted it on dev.to Seems like a great community 😻
Just got around to reading this after you posted it the other day. Great advice, thanks a lot. Mind if I pick your brain more about this sometime?
Absolutely, would love to discuss this more, just let me know when/how :)
Cool, I'll be in touch next week.
