This Quora response uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics to show there are 92,350 programmers in the whole SF Bay area, compared to 62,530 programmers in the entire NYC municipal area.
So about 50% more in the Bay.

- hueving 8y agoYou forgot to adjust for the standard NYC ego inflation. Each NYC developer is worth 2x what any other developer is worth so NYC would win with 125k developers.

- m_ke 8y agoWNYC had a segment about this last week and claimed that there are 110k tech workers in the NYC area.
- dunpeal 8y ago"Tech workers" != programmers. In fact, if there are only 110k tech workers, I doubt there are 92,350 actual programmers in NYC. They are counting all Product Managers, designers, beta testers, etc, as well as probably sales and administrative assistants in outfits like Google.
