#2Slightly out of date now but this gives you a good idea of what companies want (no why though)

#4Honestly not very exciting, and possible region specific to my neck of the woods (South Australia): Office 365 and Azure.
Every non-tech company, and even some tech companies seem to be moving whatever they can into Office 365 and Azure. Some are just moving Exchange, others are moving Sharepoint, and some are just using Azure as an alternative to running a VM farm on-prem (bit boring really). But MS is marketing this HARD here and everyone seems to be buying the message.
Plenty of lower-tier 'Infrastructure Admin' type roles going all over the place, most MSP's are looking for architecture and engineering types as well in fairly high numbers (I count about 20-30 such roles on Linkedin). A lot of Dev roles also seem to be angling towards "Experience with Data Lake/App Service/Some other Azure-ey thing is preferred".

#5TensorFlow, Linear Algebra, Calculus and Probability are in high demand right now. They’re the building blocks for Machine Learning.

I'd question this. These things might be trending in mind share. And companies looking to hire people with these skills might have somewhat of a shortage. But I'm not sure they are actually in high demand.
It's easy to forget on HN that 90% of tech jobs are in 'dull' bread and butter languages used in enterprises, and nothing to do with the latest trends.
I think the stack overflow jobs stats linked elsewhere in this thread says it all... Java, JavaScript, Python are the most in demand languages right now. Tensorflow doesn't even show up on their list of popular tools.

SQL has been up there for the last 20 years. I doubt its going away any time soon either.

#8Bash and sql, because it's what really keeps things running, despite constant claims by hipster-hackers about how you should be using something else.
Real IDE usage (vim/emacs).

#9As for the web development the situation currently stabilized as an oligopoly between Facebook (React) and Google (Angular). Some projects are trying Vue, some leftover ones with Backbone, Meteor here and there, but it's overall a minor share.

I agree, I'd say anything that solves a companies problem of "we need this fixed yesterday" is in demand - no one is really at that stage with Tensorflow (yet?)
