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.
