- mwfunk 10y agoThis was actually a much more surprising statistic to me. I've lived and worked in Silicon Valley for almost 10 years now, and I assumed that number was more like <= 1%. It's astonishing to me that 10% of the programmers in the US are here. Talk about burying the lede...
- the_watcher 10y agoWhile only 2% of the US population lives in the Bay Area.

- smb06 10y agoThe 10% programmers number is for Silicon valley, not Bay Area. So, to compare apples to apples, we should take the % of US population for Silicon Valley, not Bay Area. Which is about 1% of US population (3M people according to google).
