#21300 samples? With JavaScript being the strongest skill across the board? I'm not sure I actually believe the word "senior" in any occurrence on this page.

It is not strongest skill we are communicating, but most popular/common. The seniority is something which the user themselves provide.
As for the sample size. 1373 profiles supplied job titles that fell into these buckets out of approximately 3500 at the time we generated the infographic.

#4Why is the most common job title "Software Engineer" at the top, but "Software Developer" is listed as the first job analyzed? Were they grouped together?

#5Its interesting that the only position with Ruby as a top skill was "CTO". Implies that Rails is quickly losing popularity.

Oops, yea, typo there. For the sake of this analysis we have treated developer and engineer (and programmer - although a very uncommon term in our dataset) as interchangeable. It could be another interesting study to look at the differences between people who align themselves as an engineer or a developer.

I was wondering the exact same thing...

Here at UT Austin there's a pretty big difference between the two (including pay - Engineer is higher). The Developer maintains the programs whereas the Engineer is the one who initial creates them.
They're state awarded titles, so it may be different in the private sector.

It takes strong personality and many years of practice to learn JavaScript well. Stuff like elegance, compiler checks, namespaces are for cowards. If one survives JavaScript, any other task will be easy.

I saw a post recently about the difference between Engineer and Developer (I think on HN). It is definitely a contentious issue for some programmers.
