I've currently got a 97 "match" with a position there, but I still get "There are currently no matches for your desired role". Does anyone else have this? Am I doing something wrong?
Ruby devs build more web apps and Python devs do more systems dev and data crunching. Not exactly a groundbreaking revelation knowing that Python has much more in the way of bindings for C/C++ and Fortran libraries for statistical / math routines, but still interesting to see this reconfirmed.
My understanding was that before Rails, Ruby was considered primarily a language used for mathematics. Anecdotally, it does seem that I see a lot of stories about using python for statistics, but I haven't seen any hard numbers one way or the other.
Python seems to also have a lot of web implementations. I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers from.

> The skills and time load sections both re-inforce that Python is more heavily linked to Data Science than Ruby. Ruby is more of a web technology with strong affinity to front-end technologies and iOS.
Unrelated to the article itself, but I have an ongoing issue with Workshape that I'm wondering if anyone else has. I've currently got a 97 "match" with a position there, but I still get "There are currently no matches for your desired role". Does anyone else have this? Am I doing something wrong?
In the future we will be updating the experience for users who do not get matches according to their profile. We currently show the closest matches, which I can imagine being frustrating. Instead we are thinking of surfacing insights from our data set based on your input. So, similar to this article, we'd give insights relevant to you about opportunities in the area.

SciRuby is a great project started last year to bring the same functionality to Ruby.
Fun article, but there is a lot of selection bias here. Small sample, product focussed at younger devs, etc...
This is a fair criticism. As we build up a larger data set we hope that more value can be attached to the it and the insights be more indicative of the community. Until then we are just interested to share what we are currently finding with the new primary data we have collected. We could definitely do with a statistician to help us out and minimise any selection bias, but i think that comes when we increase the amou…
I wish more articles on the Internet had this kind of transparency.
The secondary skills chart seems to indicate this (at least for Workshape sample set). If so, is this the result of 10 years of working with an abstraction layer in Rails? Is it simply because Rails developers have a different focus?
The Average Workshops vis seems to indicate this slightly, but not nearly as much as the premise would indicate.
