Ethereum (ETH) Co-Founder Joseph Lubin Explains Who an Ethereum Developer Is. Maybe, It's You?

Joseph Lubin, entrepreneur and co-founder of the ConsenSys decentralized blockchain studio attempted to sum up his thoughts on what it means to be an Ethereum (ETH) developer. According to him, it goes far beyond writing code in certain EF repositories.

Programmers of all colors

In his recent blog post inspired by the EthDenver hackathon and community meet-up, Mr. Lubin highlighted that the total number of Ethereum (ETH) developers worldwide is getting closer to one million. That's why he decided to mention all of the categories of people behind Ethereum (ETH) as well as celebrate its contribution to the building of a powerful decentralized ecosystem.

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.
