Computer Vision leads academic production. Software Engineering is surprisingly small vs practical importance.

Limitations
- GitHub stars are an inflatable metric — do not substitute npm/PyPI downloads as adoption proxy.
- Docker Hub and crates.io underrepresented in collected signals.
- StackOverflow may be in decline (AI competition).
Methodological Notes
- tech_trends aggregates GitHub, npm, PyPI, StackOverflow and HackerNews.
- github_trending captures repositories by recent observed popularity: language, stars and forks (context only).
- HackerNews stories include entity extraction (mentioned companies/technologies).
- Developer tools tracked via VS Code and JetBrains marketplaces.
