Work

In August, AI/ML Engineer Dmytro Honcharenko gave many interviews. But one of them, according to the IT engineer, will be remembered for a long time.

Working as a recruiter, I communicate with dozens of candidates every day. We talk about their experience, career expectations, professional motivation. I know very well how exciting each stage of the selection process can be: from the first call to the final interview. For a candidate, it is always an investment of time, energy, and even emotions. Unfortunately, the market still has the practice of «silence after the interview.» The candidate waits, but does not receive any answer. This leaves him in a state of complete uncertainty, creates a feeling of futility of the efforts spent, and undermines trust in the company.

The Ada programming language, born in the late 1970s at the initiative of the Pentagon, managed to enter the top 10 of the TIOBE index in July 2025. Could its appearance in the ranking mean an awareness of the value of durable, reliable, and secure products? After all, it is these qualities that distinguish Ada from other programming languages, and it is for these reasons that it is used to develop military software and large complex projects in the USA and Europe. And what is the fate of Ada in Ukrainian IT? To find out the answer to this question, we talked to Oleksandr Korochkin, a candidate of technical sciences, who is the initiator of teaching Ada in Ukrainian universities, with the Head of Engineering of the Ukrainian MilTech company Athlon Avia, which uses this language for its developments, as well as with programmers who work at AdaCore, a manufacturer of software development tools for Ada.

Kyiv-based IT company Tera Craft Technologies accidentally discovered that one of their developers was working two jobs at the same time. This case has been actively discussed by IT professionals and employers on LinkedIn, namely: can an IT specialist be productive while working two jobs, and what are the risks for the business.

Frontend Team Lead Serhiy Babayev addressed the IT community on LinkedIn with a question related to a long job search: «If you could give just one piece of advice that you think could really help a person, what would it be?» The IT people answered based on their own experience. HR managers and recruiters also joined in the advice.

Ivan Nikolenko, Senior Front-End/Full-Stack Developer, said that he gets a lot of rejections because he lives in Ukraine. Even when he indicates another country, the employer, after checking his LinkedIn profile, refuses, explaining this by the fact that the man lives in Ukraine.

iOS Engineer Oleksandr Berezovsky published a screenshot of a post where a girl admits how she earned money by collecting Colorado potato beetles from her grandmother’s potatoes.

Engineering Manager Igor Kopanev named the problem of hiring programmers No. 1 in 2025. Aitov residents are discussing it.

A new phenomenon is spreading in modern companies, dubbed the «quiet cracking»: chronic job dissatisfaction among employees, which leads to indifference, reduced efficiency, and an increased desire to quit.
