I will try to explain better.

My point is that the number of chess programmers increase more than what we can
expect.
I do not understand the reason for it and I have no idea when it is going to
stop.
I do not trust my common sense about it because I see that it is misleading me
about it(I did not expect so many new chess programs).

Suppose that there are
100 chess programmers in year 2000
200 chess programmers in year 2002
400 chess programmers in year 2004
800 chess programmers in year 2006
1600 chess programmers in year 2008
3200 chess programmers in year 2010...
102400 chess programmers in year 2020...
104857600 chess programmers in year 2040

It may mean that we are going to have more chess programmers than not
programmers who are interested in chess programs and chess programmers may earn
more money from helping other chess programmers.
