How this was computed
Counts derive from the Skillenai jobs index over the 90 days ending 2026-08-27. Skills are resolved against the Skillenai canonical taxonomy, so the same entity is counted whether a posting writes 'Python', 'Python 3', or 'python'. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-requested skills).
