Python leads at 34.3%. Kubernetes (9.9%) is named more often than JavaScript (6.0%). The AI skills everyone is told to learn appear in 1 posting in 11, and that share is not rising.

Counted on 17 September 2026 across 10,780 live postings from 1,232 companies. The concentration has a cost — those twenty are 7.2% remote, against 17.1% for the board as a whole.
