Software engineering postings hit highest since November 2023

The post shares a chart showing software engineering job postings reaching their strongest level since November 2023, which the author frames as a rebuttal to the idea that AI is collapsing demand for developers. The comments lean skeptical but also point to a real hiring rebound, with people debating whether the data reflects genuine openings, ghost jobs, or lagging labor-market cycles.

// ANALYSIS

The signal is directionally bullish for software hiring, but it is not proof of a durable boom.

–Job postings are a lagging and noisy metric, so one upswing does not mean hiring is fully healthy.
–Even if the chart is accurate, it supports “demand still exists,” not “AI has no impact.”
–The strongest read is that teams still need engineers, but they may be looking for smaller, more productive headcounts.
–The Reddit reaction shows the market is still emotionally polarized: some see recovery, others see manipulated or low-quality postings.
