GitHub developer data analysis reveals that Bangladesh is the number one country with a rapidly increasing number of software developers, with the number of accounts increasing 1.6 times in one year.

GitHub is a project called ``GitHub Innovation Graph'' that publishes a lot of data, and new data is released every three months. The latest data updated in January 2024 shows that the number of developer accounts has increased rapidly over the past year, and in particular in Bangladesh, the number of developer accounts has increased by 66.5% in one year. got it.

According to developer account data published on GitHub Innovation Graph, the growth rate in the number of accounts from Q3 2022 (July to September) to Q3 2023 (July to September) By country, Bangladesh ranks first with an increase of 66.5%. Nigeria came in second place with an increase of 45.6%, followed by Pakistan in third place with an increase of 42.6%.

This data only measures public repositories, and it is said that it covers less than half of GitHub's overall activity, but a similar trend can be seen in private repositories.

It should be noted that Bangladesh is number one in the list of ``countries where the number of developer accounts is rapidly increasing'', and the number of accounts itself is around 900,000, which is not even close to the top 10. The United States has the highest number of developer accounts worldwide with approximately 20.23 million, followed by India with approximately 13.33 million and China with approximately 9.13 million. Japan ranks 9th with approximately 2.89 million cases.

Even Mike Linksbayer, GitHub's vice president of developers, is not sure what this ``surge in developer accounts'' indicates.

However, in Bangladesh, the GDP (gross domestic product) is steadily increasing and IT companies are gaining strength, and in Nigeria, several venture capital-funded ventures are engaged in technology, such as developing their own software. This appears to reflect the trend of increasing human resources.
