This is so vague as to be utterly meaningless. So this is just a frequency chart of buzzwords seen on job postings?

“A common theme among these technology skills is the need for open source, mobile, cloud or big data technologies, like iOS, Azure and Hadoop,” says Matt Miller CTO of CyberCoders.

Of course it is, it was posted by a recruiter site.

It is a data point. Look at skills needed in dice or monster, look at tiobe.com look at languages on github and you get a picture of the fashion of the season. Most larger companies use keyword analysis to pick which resumes to look at. So if you use those keywords you have a better chance of finding a job. If you rather start your own company, of course it is meaningless.

What a bland list "technologies" ("Front End Development"?), and the post isn't really any better. I'm very suspicious that 3 people actually voted this up.

0.02: this is where the puck is. better get embedded, electronics and mechanical skills up to snuff if you want to be where the puck is gojng.
