Today might be the hottest day ever recorded in Belgium. But that's nothing compared to the heat of shipping to thousands of users when you're not sure everything got tested. That feeling is exactly what we want to take away. Peace of mind, plain and simple. That's what we're building at Holmes. We're growing the team in Ghent and looking for engineers who want to build this with us. Know that feeling and want to fix it? Message me. Let's take the heat out of shipping, together.LinkedIn · 26 Jun 2026
