Yes, you're right. However, the trend during the last months is very clear.
From January though February (the last month with complete data) the trend was up.
We have an expected attrition rate at my company across all departments. We normally lose about 10 people per quarter. This quarter the number of people leaving - zero.
Any change in salary?

To me, the technological advances seem to be a product of the economic system. As long as the economic system can be sustained, then it is likely that human welfare will continue to improve.
I wish the data would go a bit further back. Pretty sure 200-300 job posts was normal around 2017-2018, with the industry doing just fine. The 1000 jobs per post in 2021 were an abnormality.

Most likely, there is just nothing to see, we are still in the process of being back to normal from the pandemic bubble.
This chart paints a very dishonest picture.
I wonder if it correlates with a /general/ loss of traffic. Personally I find the comments section to be less accepting of more classes of opinions each year.
The number of comments per month continues to grow linearly, while the number of stories remains roughly constant for several years: https://sql.clickhouse.com/play?user=play#U0VMRUNUIHRvU3Rhcn...
I am curious if the growth in comment count could be correlated with factors like more downvoted/hidden comments, more new comment-only reddit style users, more back and forth argument comments etc. or if it is genuinely healthy community growth.

I think political statements like yours should be banned from HN. This is not what this site is about.
What is political about "categorically reject"?

Can you suggest reading to learn more about this viewpoint? To me, the technological advances seem to be a product of the economic system. As long as the economic system can be sustained, then it is likely that human welfare will continue to improve.
I would recommend picking up First Principles of Islamic Economics by Al-Mawdudi.
