Queríamos começar com uma comunidade que atendesse a dois requisitos:
1) Um grande número de desenvolvedores talentosos, em que
2) Grande parte deles se sentisse muito mais confortável em falar sua própria língua do que o inglês
Which roughly translates to:
We wanted to start with a community that fulfilled two criteria:
1) A large number of talented developers in which,
2) A large part of them would be much more comfortable speaking their own language instead of english.
Then they have a map with visitors per month from Portuguese speaking countries:
Brazil: 3.4M, Portugal 1M, plus Angola, Mozambique and other smaller countries with some visitors per month.
They have 1M visitors form Portugal?! How is that possible? The country as a whole only has ~10M people, and as a Portuguese programmer working here myself, I don't think we have an extraordinary number of programmers per capita.
Quantcast shows ~200K uniques from Portugal, which seems much closer to reality.
