We started migrating some of our internal tools to https://ui.shadcn.com/ . We did not want to reinvent the wheel because it would take too much effort (and we did try a couple times in the past and we failed). It's easy to customize a shadcn theme for your own brand and you can integrate with Figma to collaborate with designers.
If you are a small startup with less than 20 developers, I would probably use this or another "ready to use" UI components library. Else it may become a distraction from your main objectives.
Note: Our audience is mostly B2B so our users are not too picky on the design/UI part of the product.
Yes but Toulouse is way cheaper than any Tier 1 city in the US and you have to include insurance/health, school cost in the US (I'm from Toulouse and living in the US for more than 10 years). If you make 250k/year in Tier 1 city in the US it's probably as good as making 80k/year in Toulouse.
Don't Boeing engineers also get insurance and 401k from their employer?
Plus, they'd have to learn french also. France is not very accommodating to non French speaking foreigners. Trying to get around in life with just English there outside of Paris is not easy.
My experience, although 20ish years ago now, was that France was very accommodating to people who were trying to make an effort to speak French, however badly, and would help correct pronunciations and other little errors, whereas their patience for foreigners who thought that the locals English would get better if they just spoke more loudly and slowly was thin.

I don't really get this kind of comments... Usually people also say the same thing when visiting Japan. "This restaurant only has menu in Japanese and staff only speaking Japanese!!".
That's true a bit everywhere in the world, isn't it? In the US, apart from places with say huge Spanish speaking presence, you better interact in English.
Try "getting around in life" using only say French, or Portuguese, or Japanese in a random US city like Portland, NYC, or Chicago.
I didn't sense any judgement there, just a statement of fact. Learning a new language as an adult is doable, but not trivial, so it's certainly a factor in making a decision to relocate to another country for a job.
> That's true a bit everywhere in the world, isn't it?
No it's not, western Europe for example has a bunch of countries where English is almost as good as native. But obviously that's not the common case across the world, and like you say there's nothing wrong with expecting people to know the local language.
>That's true a bit everywhere in the world, isn't it?
That has not been my experience. I'm not arguing it should be this way, but for better or worse I've gotten by very well with english virtually anywhere with tourists and most places without. I lived in east ukraine for two years and learned russian - enough people spoke english there that at times it could be hard to get practice time in russian. This was with a younger student crowd, most non-students and older people did not speak english, but the point stands that you can find english speaking people and get by in most situations.
Not really, the world isn't either black or white but various shades of gray. Everything North of Benelux is a lot friendlier and open to speaking English and doing things in English outside of capitals, compared to places like France where not speaking it gives you a severe handicap in life and career.
There are quite a few employees in Toulouse that don't speak French, the company is very international. That being said I agree that daily life is much easier if you speak at least a little bit.
- Engineering jobs in the US tend to come with health insurance benefits
- There are several state programs in the US that make attending an in-state public university very affordable. For example, in GA I attended university for $0 in tuition (only paying for room and board + a couple hundred bucks a semester on bs “fees”). The requirement for that grant is getting a 3.0 or higher high school GPA.
- Not sure how cheap Toulouse is, but at least in the US you’re probably better off making 200k+ in HCOL than 100k in LCOL. At that level of income, you don’t have to spend much of your income on essentials even in an extremely HCOL area like SF ($3000 a month gets you a nice apartment).
You can buy houses outside of Toulouse for 300k with swimmingpool and 4000 square meter land. 20 min drive from Airbus. Winter time you can ski in the mountains, summers are nice and cities like Barcelona can be reached in 4,5 hours. 80k is more than enough to have a super comfortable life.
You can use AWS Global Accelerator. AWS will assign 2 static IPs (not EIPs, but they will never change until the Global Accelerator is deleted) or you can use your own block of IP (BYOIP).
Then resolve the DNS to the Global Accelerator static IPs. And forward your traffic from AWS Global Accelerator to your ALBs, EC2 instances or NLBs.
Sorry, but this is incorrect. The European Travel Information and Authorisation System has not even been developed yet, much less deployed. It will only come online in 2021. Until then, Schengen is visa-free for Canadians and Americans.
>On July 5th, the European Parliament has given its final agreement to implement the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, ETIAS. European authorities have decided to establish the electronic visa waiver system in the year 2021 to improve security across the Schengen Area.
