According to Mr. Lubin, this number includes the developers of all Ethereum (ETH) implementations (clients) - Trinity, Nethereum, Hyperledger Besu, etc. That's why he calls masters of Python, .NET and Java Ethereum (ETH) developers. Speaking about Python, he made particular reference to Vitalik Buterin and Piper Merriam as well as to their efforts in Ethereum blockchain research.
Also, Mr. Lubin outlined the role of mobile application developers, both iOs and Android, in integrating the Ethereum (ETH) toolkit into the software for the smartphones. Content management creators that contribute to Drupal and WordPress instruments are Ethereum (ETH) developers as they are integrating blockchain-based payment and data storage solutions into their products.
Evangelists and nerds
There are numerous non-CS folks in league with Ethereum (ETH) developers. Mostly, they belong to the evangelist community that addresses the creation of

'Finance nerds' are much put-upon in the sphere of Decentralized Finances or DeFi as they design the ecosystems around DAI and Ethereum (ETH) to make the sphere more profitable and attractive for the end-users.
