Czech or Russian? Such a fail...
I thought Jet Brains was always a Czech startup by Czech student? I have used their NetBeans IDE and it was quite good back then.
Netbeans != IntelliJ IDEA
Jet Brains is technically a Czech company, but started and operated by Russians, so it's a bit weird to say it's Czech (for me as a Czech at least).
Ah, okay. I forget who is who then! If the company is HQ'ed in Czech, wouldn't it be a Czech company for all its worth?
Yes, as I say it technically is. I just always had it in my headspace as Russian. Cannot help it ;)
I think the title has double meaning.
Czech Startup Founders
I understood it first as "Czech Founders".
