I think the "8.9 million developers use ollama" figure they throw around is contrived. I found this 2025 article which posits that there were 47.2 million software developers in the world. Even the number of developers has doubled in a year (plausible if you account for the rise in vibe coding), I think it's very unlikely that 1 in 10 developers use ollama.

No no no…. You see, with AI, everyone and their dog is a developer now. 8.9 million looks pretty pathetic when considering the global computer-using population.
