Every industry has people who stand out. They are blazing the trails, making incredible career moves, and establishing a strong legacy for themselves.

The tech field is no different. We have incredibly talented developers who are influencing the landscape. They are creating new interpretations of technical concepts, and building all kinds of tools and services that the world at large can benefit from.

To give you your daily dose of inspiration, we have collected a handful of Hungarian developers you should follow. But why Hungary?

**Hungary is one of the leading software development destinations in the world.** [Studies](https://www.n-ix.com/top-destinations-software-development-ukraine-hungary/#:~:text=Talent%20Pool%20for%20Software%20Development&text=In%20Hungary%2C%20software%20development%20is,%5B1%5D%20in%20this%20country.) show that software development represents 6% of the nation’s economy and employs over 80,100 people.

And did you know that CodersRank is based in Hungary, too? The reason why we’ll put the focus on Hungarian developers today is to pay a tribute to our country and to highlight some of the local talent.

We’ll feature as many countries as we can in upcoming blog posts.

These 7 Hungarian developers work hard to share quality content. Some are book authors, some are podcasters, some have their own courses. Most of them are already on CodersRank but we also included a few devs who are not, as we wanted to focus on outstanding achievements.

Check them out and be inspired!
