1300 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.
Its interesting that the only position with Ruby as a top skill was "CTO". Implies that Rails is quickly losing popularity.
This gives me hope that I'm more in line with the development community rather than a curmudgeon :)

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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think the repeated use of "Top Skill" rather than "Common Skill" is giving the wrong impression. The impression that Javascript is the most desired skill for 60% of the titles/shapes.
And perhaps it's just a limitation of the data that are being presented here, but the top skill of a CTO should never be JavaScript unless it's a tech team consisting only of the CTO (and yes, that is sometimes the situation in a fledgling startup, but really it's little more than self-aggrandisement to use that title in that case).

Curious that front-end engineers feel better about node.js than full-stack or back-end engineers (it doesn't even appear for the latter?!).
Second guess: JS is the only ecosystem front-end devs generally know.
Third guess: back-end engineers avoid JS like plague - hence the separation into front- and back-end devs.

I had to use Ruby on a couple of different projects and it left a really sour taste in my mouth. Granted some of it really wasn't fair to Ruby but it still did. This gives me hope that I'm more in line with the development community rather than a curmudgeon :)
