These numbers imply 4.5% of the entire UK population had an active GitHub account in Q3 2023. Seems very high. Unless there are people out there with huge numbers of accounts? Can anyone explain this?

Would also be interesting to compare quality of repositories, number of interactions, ...
https://github.com/gayanvoice/top-github-users/tree/main/mar... I am #381 in Finland, which is weird, because all I do is occasionally adjust my home automation.
P.S. Oh, it says, "You need at least 52 followers to be on this list". He gives lectures at a uni and does code reviews via Github - I guess most of the followers are his students.

Looks like it spiked as high as 10% of all advertised jobs in 2022. Even though 80%+ of the UK economy is services I still find that impressive!

This list has a unique non-development related factor which is that you have to have a minimum number of followers (varying from country to country) so you might be very active and contribute much more than most of the people on the list but do not have the minimum followers required (38 in your country) so you are out.
I don't know where they get the user data from, but it's definitely incomplete.

#18I recently noticed many github accounts which only seem to contain solutions for exercises in a programming courses, iirc most from from india.
This seems to match this survey.
My 2 cts, probably this just shows countries where schools prefer to use github over their own infrastructure, or else students being creative in sharing their solutions outside of school.
