    @auolloa This is a great topic and it sounds like you have interesting data, but it’s not clear how to use it or what the graphs mean. Some questions:

    • What should I enter in the search box?
    • Why do you show one bar per word and one bar for the whole entry?
    • Is salaries USD, and is it per-hour or in thousands?
    • How much data is this from Indeed (time period, region, de-duping)?
    • Is the last graph the same as the first, but with color?

      Good points. I created this as a 4-hour challenge so I definitely left out some things.

      • What should I enter in the search box? Skills separated by spaces
      • Why do you show one bar per word and one bar for the whole entry? One bar per whole entry, the program will take the first 20 words, and only create skill sets combinations with the maximum size of 4 skills.
      • Is salaries USD, and is it per-hour or in thousands? Salary is in Thousands USD per year
      • How much data is this from Indeed (time period, region, de-duping)? It just web scrapes the salary estimate numbers displayed on indeed when you query skill sets and then performs a weighted average.
      • Is the last graph the same as the first, but with color? Yup basically just a visual combination of the two first graphs, kinda like a heat map.

      I’ll label the graphs better, add some of these details to the GitHub readme and update the project. Thanks for the feedback.

      The concept of markdown as a presentation format is limited to a really small code oriented population. On the other hand, markdown as a documentation format has wide applications.

      I.e. Apple Keynote slides vs presentation on teaching engineers a how to use a new tool

        There are parallels without computers.

        In a friends real estate business, clients who want x and y in a house, often don’t believe her if she immediately answers that there are no houses in her inventory that match their description. They accept it much better if she deliberately takes more time to respond. Although this might be affected by clients not wanting to believe the answer.

          I’ve seen trying to find the elegant solution leading to bosses being angry, which is why you have to remember 13 and 14.

            I’m trying to finish a Matlab toolbox which can recognize paintings in a video taken by eye tracking glasses and then transform/map the eye tracking data to a higher resolution image. I’ll be off this project soon because its part of a research lab I work in at RIT, and I’ll be graduating in a few days.

            After that I step in to the bright new open world….. of unemployment. But it’s not so bad as it’ll give me time to do some google foobar problems and help my team more with this kaggle problem
