>European defense industry is a goldmine right now, the sky is the limit. Care to detail? Like I'm sure defense stocks and some arms manufacturing is up, but where I live I don't see the tech jobs market being boosted by defense spending.

Is up a lot, yes. It all goes slowww. But it is moving forward. You would need a tough screening regardless. Defense is very picky about their contractors. But I can give a hint where the money comes from: 3,5% of BBP has to be for defense, and 1,5% for infra for defense. Many countries were at about 2% before (getting a bit higher due to geopolitical changes early 2022). Also, think of funding for European tech comp…

Again, where's the negativity in the examples you posted? Those seem like valid points to me.

If a company says on their website "We'll have hardware ready this Q1 2026" and a commentator says "They haven't given any timelines anywhere, so most likely vaporware", then I'd consider that unfounded negativity, mostly because it was so trivial to see if that was true or not, probably took me about 2 minutes.

Company Websites are often full of BS and lies. That's why people are skeptical.
