I’m more curious who gets to be the new CTO. Van den Brink knows the whole damn machine by heart + the people who made it, gonna be a hard gap to fill.
It has thousand components, evolving constantly and has the most complicated technology in the earth.
That is part of the heart of asml, people are expected to know things at a very deep level.
Given how unforgiving the average engineer is when someone in upper management doesn’t understand something (cue PHB jokes), I’m inclined to believe them.
