- FirmwareBurner 2y ago>parts of remote Eastern Europe have produced excellent techs for decades.. Like wich exactly? Jetbrains is one, but it is from Czechia IIRC. I was asking what tech products has Ukrainian tech sector produced.
- mistrial9 2y agoLeonid Radvinsky, Ruja Ignatova ?
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoWhat part of "tech products of Ukraine" was unclear?
- throwaway48476 2y agoAn Israeli and a Bulgarian gypsy?
- dkarl 2y agoI've worked with several excellent Ukrainian developers, but in each case they were working for consulting firms in other Eastern European countries.
- oblio 2y ago> have produced excellent tech <<talent>> for decades.. There you go, hope it makes more sense for you.
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoUnderstandable, thanks.
- spitfire 2y agoJetbrains is Russian. They relocated to Czech to wash their face.
- mistrial9 2y agoI honestly do not know about this -- wasn't it based in Kiev at first?

- spitfire 2y agoAccording to Wikipedia “ JetBrains, initially called IntelliJ Software,[9][10] was founded in 2000 in Prague by three Russian software developers:” My understanding is that they had the Czech business location with Russian developers so they had a clean public face. I’d believe you if you insisted on Kiev based too, I don’t know anything first hand.
- no_wizard 2y ago> JetBrainz Its Jetbrains, and they don't deny having workers there at all (the company itself If I recall correctly is located in the Czech Republic). In fact, they went through great expense to exfiltrate their Ukrainian employees and cut Russia off before everyone else got on the bandwagon (IE, before it was 'cool').
- codedokode 2y agoI always thought that Jetbrains is 100% Russian? Why would foreigners choose "Kotlin" for the name of programming language?

- kgeist 2y agoIIRC JetBrains was nominally registered in Czech Republic but the majority of the engineers were located in St.Petersburg (and Kotlin is an island near St.Petersburg).
