This is nitpicking but I was curious: there are 4.4 million software developers in the US (https://www.griddynamics.com/blog/number-software-developers...). The population is 340 million, 0.1% would be 340,000. You’re off by over one order of magnitude.
there are 45 million devs in the world (out of which probably 10 can actually program) and 8.5 billion people
we could say 0.5%?
It’s misleading to use the entire world’s population. A very large proportion of that hasn’t ever had the opportunity to learn to write code.
