Engineering Hiring Demand by Stack: free sample (Tensorust LLC)

13,997 Hacker News job posts since 2023, tagged for 44 stacks and AI roles: agent mentions went from 1% to 27% of posts.

Headline: Hiring demand for AI agent work moved faster than any stack survey reports: in the Hacker News 'Who is hiring?' threads, posts mentioning agents went from 1.2% in January 2023 (4 of 337 posts) to 29.1% in October 2026 and 27.4% of the open November 2026 thread.

Method and limits

Pull every whoishiring thread since January 2023 and its top-level comments. A comment counts as a job post when its first line uses the 'Company | Role | Location' pipe format. Company is the first segment. Each flag is a case-insensitive pattern match on the post text (patterns in build.py). The trend table is the share of posts per month with each flag. Post text, poster usernames, emails and links inside posts are not stored; each row links back to the post on HN.

Not a census of the job market: HN posts lean toward startups and US tech hubs. Pattern matches can miss or over-count (for example 'go' and 'agents'). Not a list of job seekers or of people; no poster identity or contact data is included.
