C# is lumped with C and C++, making the technology chart misleading
From 2 comments
I was curious as to why neither C# nor .NET appeared on the "Top Technologies" graph. Then I realized it apparently combines C, C++, and C# into a single bucket, given that the…

Questions
Why is Microsoft, Docker or assembly listed as technology
From 3 comments
Feels weird to see Microsoft as a technology in the top technologies diagram. Also it is surprising that there are many job posts for assembly.
teacpde on HNI was also surprised that the word Docker or Containers didn't make the list in that section.
rhacker on HNIf you drill down the assembly jobs seems related to manufacturing assembly.
