I am curious how large the community of programmers is.. it is need some definition who counts as a programmer i would like to treat as a programmer everybode who write biger ammount of code than incidental thousand or two thousands of first lines etc, romeone who is doing coding at least a couple of months i was trying to estimate this number and i guess it may be about the order of 1 million, but not sure how wrong this number is ;\ Is there anybody able to estimate this number?
