Funny. Sounds like the expansion rate of the Javascript ecosystem.
It's not a real HN thread until someone makes this joke...
I was a bit vague :-) India's about 10% of total requests on any given day. VSCode was 10% of requests for a couple of hours.
Doesn't matter, it's a comparison of request rates.
Requests over time where user in India ~= requests over time where user is a vs code user
How does the time unit make a difference? If they're making the same number of requests/second as India then they're also making the same number of requests/hour or requests/day, no?
There wasn't any time unit in the original statement, so it wasn't clear that the request per X from India was the same as the request per X from the IDE.
