How I Tracked the Tech Job Market as a Working Student (And What I Found)

Roshni Melwani, a working student, developed a data pipeline to analyze the tech job market by utilizing the "Who is Hiring?" thread from HackerNews, which provides monthly job postings from real companies. Using dltHub and AI assistant Claude, she automated data extraction and analysis, focusing on job trends, tools, and skills in demand. Melwani's pipeline, which updates monthly, revealed notable trends such as the rising mention of AI tool Claude in job posts, and the dominance of Python and AWS. This project demonstrates how automation and AI can streamline data collection and analysis processes, offering valuable insights into the evolving job market.
