Cloudflare’s engineering headcount surged 45 percent in the weeks after the company cut 1,100 jobs in May, according to BNP Paribas data drawn from LinkedIn profiles. The finding, first reported by Business Insider, shows Cloudflare’s engineering staff grew from 1,308 to 1,894 even as its total workforce shrank by a fifth. CEO Matthew Prince confirmed […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

The Big Bang theory is, arguably, the most accepted science-based origin story for our universe. Too bad it might be a work of total fiction. European astrophysicist Sunny Vagnozzi, of the University of Trento and Cambridge University, alongside Israeli-American researcher Avi Loeb, of Harvard University, today published a (potentially) landmark research paper indicating that everything we think we know about the universe’s origins could be completely wrong. According to their... Read more ›

We write about all things career-related, make original documentaries, and share heaps of other untold developer stories from around the world. When we think of negotiation, we picture intense discussions that go back and forth between two parties discussing a deal over huge sums of money. One side has a price in... Read more ›

Today is November 3, World Smart Home day — and that means it’s the perfect time to discuss the Internet of Things (IoT). We recently saw the launch (finally!) of Matter, an industry-unifying open standard for smart homes. If you’re building IoT devices, this (excuse the pun) matters. Let’s dive into what it’s all about — and especially what it means for European businesses. What is Matter? Matter-certified smart lightbulbs... Read more ›

Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse dream is giving investors nightmares. His $10 billion annual bet on an “embodied internet” preceded a plunge in Meta’s value, a first-ever quarterly revenue decline, and grim forecasts for growth. Horizon Worlds, his initial foray in the space, has only added to concerns. The social platform is regularly derided for slow uptake, persistent bugs, and risible avatars. Despite the mounting criticisms, Zuckerberg remains bullish about making Facebook... Read more ›

Once again, Gen Z leads from behind when it comes to the issues that affect the workplace. All through the pandemic, it has been this cohort that has self-assuredly shown the rest of the working populace how they’d really like things to be done. Studies show that this is the generation that is most values-driven, wants to know that the company they work for is strongly supporting diversity goals, and... Read more ›

Around once a year, a magical thing happens: Apple releases a new version of macOS. When this hallowed day rolls around, you have one option and one option only: to make things as hard for your computer as possible. Look, life’s hard. Actually, life’s more than hard, it’s brutal. Every day is a challenge that’s more pressing than the last. So I ask you this… why should your computer have... Read more ›

You might wish you were more passionate about your job. Or that you had the kind of job you could at least imagine being passionate about. Something that made you jump out of bed in the morning, excited about a new day filled with fist pumps and joy. But psychologists differentiate between two types of work-related passion — and they may not both appeal, even if you’re more than a... Read more ›

Every new car release means another competitor for brands — and the industry seems to be pumping out new vehicles every day. Companies are chasing every avenue to attract customers in this competitive market. And the latest? Well, that’d be gaming. Besides, of course, a vehicle’s visual appeal and the joy of being behind the driver’s seat, designers are focusing their attention on our overall in-car experience. This is especially... Read more ›

The war in Ukraine extends beyond the front lines. While soldiers risk their lives on battlefields, those left defend the home front — and the economy. The conflict has ravaged businesses, but the tech ecosystem has shone amid the gloom. In the first quarter of this year, the industry generated a record $2 billion in export services. IT Arena 2022, an annual conference in the city of Lviv, showcased the... Read more ›

There was a time, long, long ago, that Europe sat at the top of the phone industry. Nokia was the most used handset in the world, Sony Ericsson made beloved devices, and people actually talked about Siemens. This, of course, didn’t last. While their downfall was multifaceted and took several years, it can be roughly linked to the time when our old dumb phones morphed into the touchscreen polymaths they... Read more ›

Job hunting is exhausting, and it can be tempting to try and find shortcuts. However, no success comes from a lazy approach to cover letters. Like the marathon runner who takes a shortcut to cut out hours of hard work, a job seeker who sends generic cover letters to each employer is never going to win gold. The cover letter is your first impression, and needs to pique the interest... Read more ›

The conventional SUV is an environmental offender. Research in 2019 found that the vehicles were the second largest cause of the global rise in carbon dioxide emissions over the past decade — eclipsing even behemoths like aviation and trucks. But Polestar aims to redeem the category, launching their third vehicle: Polestar 3. This is the company’s very first SUV — and it’s all-electric, as well as underpinned by some serious...

The good news first: The European cybersecurity market was valued at €28.05 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach €53.52 billion by 2027, with an average compound annual growth rate of 24.4% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Here’s some even better news: there are multiple cities and regions across Europe where a cybersecurity professional can locate — or relocate — to nurture a flourishing career in this rapidly growing...

The human body is miraculous. Just take the immune system for example. This adapts to pathogens and viruses, learning how they operate, and changing itself to deal with them. This means that once your immune system has come into contact with an attacker, it’s better prepared in the future. Because I’m an optimist, this is how I choose to believe computers work too. Don’t believe all the naysayers out there... Read more ›

The European quantum computing sector might be the most exciting field in tech. Funding is at an all-time high and the number of quantum startups is increasing year over year. Yet the global media tends to portray the EU and UK as potential runners up in the supposed quantum computing race. In order to understand Europe’s position in the global quantum computing market we need to roll the clock back... Read more ›

Europe’s political elite tend to focus on Gig work and platforms as the harbingers of a dystopian nightmare. A picture has been painted of workers with less freedom and fewer options; humans becoming slaves to algorithms and monopoly-seeking companies. More recently, out of the chaos of the early days of the pandemic, a new story shot into the public consciousness: a generation breaking free from the clutches of traditional working... Read more ›

It’s a sunny time for solar power — and for good reason: it’s abundant, renewable, and sustainable. As the world is turning towards alternative energy sources, solar is the fastest growing renewable. In fact, it accounts for over half of the 302GW of renewable capacity installed internationally in 2021. But there’s still a long way to go. And one sector that solar can have a seismic difference? Consumer tech. Swedish... Read more ›

My cravings for meat are well-known to regular readers (hi mum!). But as a self-righteous vegetarian, I refuse to dine on murdered animals. Those beliefs, however, are now being challenged by a heretic: cultivated meat. Cultivated meat, also known as cultured meat, brings the farm to the lab. Cells are collected from an animal, grown in vitro, and then shaped into familiar forms of edible flesh. Industry advocates proffer myriad... Read more ›

Despite fears of a looming recession, global economic pressures, and worries over recent layoffs in many tech firms over the spring and summer, the jobs picture across Europe is still broadly good. Particularly so in tech where many areas within the IT industry are thought to be (so far) fairly recession-proof, notably across industries like AI, cybersecurity, and cloud services. In fact, the tech scene is currently experiencing levels of... Read more ›
