"Why #Bolt is my Favourite Tech European Company", by Nicola Amadio (The European Engineer)

"Headquartered in Tallinn, Bolt is a ride-hailing company, competing with giants like Uber"

"Its main engineering teams were built in #Estonia, #Romania and #Poland: this is a great choice, with Estonia being a great market to hire devs and Romania and Poland possibly being among the very best nations worldwide for hiring quality tech talent at a reasonable price"

ASML is the "only one in the world that builds machines for the most advanced semiconductors"

"It is now Europe's most valuable tech company, a growth that would not have been possible without its many foreign skilled workers."

Migration=Value.

French, writer-oriented, doesn't allow sexism, racism, homophobia, hate speech. Let's see more of it.

Are you aware of other options?

Judita reads about the EU “Digital Services Act" definition of some online platforms as “gatekeepers”

“One more word of #EU slang. As a user, do I need all this regulation?”

She closed #Chrome on her #Android phone, turned to her #Windows laptop, opened 3 tabs: for #WhatsApp, #LinkedIn and #Gmail. She received a video link, and opened #YouTube. Her #Instagram account blipped

She stopped for a second. She had just used 7 of the 11 #gatekeepers apps...
