Yeah, if you can come up with a way to give the viewer a "sense" of the person at a glance it would go a long way. Maybe add colors? Or maybe consider that some metrics are pretty related and could be represented separately. Frontend / backend could be represented as a continuum by itself. UI/UX are sort of tied with front-end, so coming up with a way to link those together might be nice. Perhaps you could use the data you have to see what tends to be linked together and come up with 2-3 representations that communicate what you're going for quickly.

An interesting idea - thanks!

As for the trends check out these links to see histograms showing related aspects according to different job titles:

really cool data in those distributions, definitely spent way too much time flipping back and forth from one tab to another. Maybe unsurprisingly, javascript is every groups' most reported skill and full-stack engineers tend to be more senior. It'll be exciting to watch as your data set grows
We will continue to share our data set and insights. When we have more resources we will undoubtedly spend more time on analytics and infographics so that we can share back with the community on our findings.

Thanks for the comment.
