In this tougher job market, what specialties are in more demand?


I'll share based on my experience. I've been getting the most traction with my SRE experience, then with my Java experience. No traction with Python or Javascript experience.

Would love to collect other anecdotes to try to guess which skills and specialties are safest versus hardest hit, or alternative suggestions for how to build insight into this.

Always in demand: Can solve business problems. Can add value. Can understand business domains and apply technology. Can multiply the effectiveness of a team.

Programming languages, frameworks, etc. are tools, not skills. No employer needs more lines of code. Focus on addressing business problems.
