Good talk with the people that actually help make this a reality. Thx for sharing

[@rahulav4009]

Excellent video 👏

[@priyanshu95.]

Inspiring and outstanding 👏

[@xolanimavuso6989]

Wow great podcast!, I would like to join ASML

[@ouulriyac4747]

awesome video!

[@luykxd]

Rather than their current roles, I believe it should be worth while mentioning the roles of Herman and Marco at the time, i.e. head of D&E and VP of EUV sales respectively.

[@mensacorp]

good questions and answers; however there is a serious overuse of "yeah" by the host that gives a sense that he is psuedo-listening.

[@Punithan897546]

That's the trait of most of the dutch people I have encountered. They actively listen and express that with many "yeahs"
