As far as mismatches go, we find that Go and Ruby are listed among the requirements of many job offers out there, while they do not appear at the top of the ranking for most-used languages by tech professionals. In fact, Ruby appears at the bottom of the popularity ranking when it comes to developers. In terms of technologies, a clear example of strong demand vs. low literacy in the marketplace is AWS, which would explain why professionals with this skill set are so well paid. The same could be true for Kubernetes. (View Highlight)
