"Tax cuts for startups are real, and it means a developer in France will basically cost you half the price of a US one, and there is good chance he’ll be better

"Tax cuts for startups are real, and it means a developer in France will basically cost you half the price of a US one, and there is good chance he’ll be better :) "
In the last paragraph the author stated that France had it's share of problems, but then it states that their developers are "better." Really? Who has had a huge respectable dominance in the IT world in the last few decades? How much have the French contributed to that?
Lastly the article goes to claim that "the us is in a downfall and France will lead the way."
Next they'll tell me that they're going to take over the startup scene in Berlin.
- guard-of-terra 13y ago"Who has had a huge respectable dominance in the IT world in the last few decades?" Umm, Google does? This fact doesn't help you the slightest when you're competing with them hiring developers for your itsy bitsy startup. In France perhaps developers have less Googles, Facebooks and Dropboxes to choose from so you can indeed access better developers. Or maybe it isn't so. Still worth considering. Could not find the downfall thing.
- monksy 13y agoThats my point. Google is a US innovation.
- Expat2009 13y agoCalm down there, u know how big france is compared to the states? And if u take europe as a whole (equivalent population more or less) and compare it to the states u would probably get equal if not more innovation in europe in the last 50 years. Lol at huge respectable dominance...
