>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.




Jetbrains is Russian. They relocated to Czech to wash their face.


I honestly do not know about this -- wasn't it based in Kiev at first?


According 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.


I've worked with several excellent Ukrainian developers, but in each case they were working for consulting firms in other Eastern European countries.


> have produced excellent tech <<talent>> for decades..

There you go, hope it makes more sense for you.


Understandable, thanks.


Leonid Radvinsky, Ruja Ignatova ?


What part of "tech products of Ukraine" was unclear?


An Israeli and a Bulgarian gypsy?
