The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted Resolution No. 692 of May 30, 2026 , which amended Resolution No. 76 regarding the reservation of military personnel and the designation of enterprises as critical. For businesses, this means that the status of a critical enterprise should no longer be perceived as “received and forgotten for a year.” They actually want to restart the system: criticality criteria will be revised, current decisions will be checked, and salary and personnel indicators will become even more sensitive.

The main fear of production is “we’ll install a robot, something will go wrong, and the whole line will stop.” And this fear is justified. Because stopping the line means hundreds of thousands of hryvnias in losses per shift, missed deadlines, and enormous stress. But most of these risks arise when integration is done impulsively: I saw a robot and bought it. Proper robotization is predictable and safe for current operational processes. That's what this guide is about.

Ukrainian developers have made a technological breakthrough in the field of drones: a conventional FPV quadcopter was able to hit a target 102 kilometers away deep behind Russian troops. This was recently reported by Serhiy Sternenko, a volunteer and advisor to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense on drone issues.

A year ago, the typical scenario for a graduate of a technical faculty looked pretty bleak: dozens of responses to Junior Software Engineer vacancies, several test tasks, and almost guaranteed silence in response. The candidate, who is being talked about in SKIFTECH, also came to look for a job as an engineer. He had no commercial experience — only a good theoretical base, his own knowledge and a desire to work in defense tech. There was no engineering vacancy for him at the time. Instead, the company offered to start by assembling the equipment. For the first month, he worked as an assembler, studying the product, getting acquainted with electronics and production processes. And only then did he move to an engineering position. SKIFTECH says that this was a conscious path of development within the company. This story well illustrates the changes currently taking place in Ukrainian miltech. While classic IT has been experiencing a crisis of junior vacancies for several years, manufacturers of drones, communication systems and other military equipment are increasingly ready to train people practically from scratch. dev.ua talked to manufacturers of solutions for the military about which positions they are ready to hire people with minimal or no experience at all.

It is difficult to imagine the modern corporate world without endless online calls, which often drag on and exhaust the team. The problem of ineffective calls has become so acute that it has become the subject of countless jokes. However, sometimes an ordinary Internet meme can become the impetus for the creation of a real digital product. This is how the idea of ​​​​a service for anonymous voting for the early end of rallies was born - it was created in just two days by UX/UI designer Anna Shevelova using artificial intelligence.

The Ukrainian gaming community was outraged after the creators of the tactical cat game Mewgenics announced the addition of Russian localization. Previously, famous indie developer Edmund McMillen conducted a survey about which localizations players want to see, and Ukrainian was in the lead.

Head of Project at Sense Bank Oleg Klyapko, with over 30 years of experience in programming as a hobby, created the free iOS app Seizure Dairy for people with epilepsy. The idea to develop this digital seizure diary came from a personal need — to help his own son. Thanks to the synergy of parental motivation and the involvement of modern AI tools, the developer managed to create and release the app on the App Store in just one month. And Seizure Dairy has already yielded the first results: thanks to accurate tracking, the number of seizures in his son decreased by 30%.

Oleksiy Kuts, a resident of AIT, wrote on LinkedIn to reach the Ministry of Defense, called the academies of three cities, transferred from the rear to the combat unit after months of correspondence with the General Staff, and eventually managed to break through the wall of military bureaucracy and join the newly created IT vertical of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We talked with Oleksiy about how the IT vertical works from the inside and which IT worker would be suitable for the position of army digitalizer.

There are more teammates, but the processes are not improving at all. In such a situation, it is difficult for many to admit that headcount does not equal efficiency, let alone team maturity. In this article, I will talk about a common problem for many engineering teams — loss of efficiency during scaling. My work as Head of Development Department at UPSTARS, a rapidly growing company, involves direct work with the challenges that will be discussed below. Let’s get started, shall we?

When Dmytro Yanovsky stepped out of the airport in Tempe, Florida, at the age of 18, the first thing he realized was that you can’t survive here without a car. No public transportation, scorching heat, and nowhere to walk. No family nearby, no scholarship, no campus waiting. Just a suitcase, money from Ukrainian freelance work, and the feeling that making mistakes is expensive. Eight years later, Yanovsky became the first student in the history of California’s De Anza College to be accepted to both MIT and Princeton University at the same time. Then the Ukrainian went on to work at the legendary MIT CSAIL laboratory, interned at Pulley, and launched the Prox startup at Y Combinator. And in parallel, Dmytro founded the ULTA educational program, through which 15% of the first stream of Ukrainian students entered MIT. dev.ua spoke with Dmytro about his life journey, which included pasta for a dollar, a fateful phone call from Boston, and why he considers Ukrainian defense tech to be one of the biggest opportunities in the world right now.

The big IT world is in a storm again. First, OpenClaw and its evolutionary sequel Hermes Agent appeared — millions of people downloaded it, played with it, burned a lot of money on tokens and now they are thinking: «What to do with it next?». While the hype around generative AI is starting to cool down a bit, we talked during our show about artificial intelligence Sho on AI with Oles Petriv, co-founder and CTO of Reface.

I often review vacancies. Not because I'm looking for a job and not because I'm an IT guy, but because I'm genuinely interested. I work in PR at an IT school, and the labor market is not an abstraction for me: it's something I monitor and try to understand from the inside. Our graduates enter this market every day — and it's important for me to understand what they encounter there.

Hello! It’s #vsrativakansii again. A new selection of trashy job offers as usual on Friday’s broadcast. Today’s episode features manipulations, work for pennies, and also fraudulent schemes from a pseudo-employer

Polish studio CD Projekt RED has announced the development of Songs of the Past, a story-based expansion for the role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This release will be the first major expansion for the game in ten years. The release is scheduled for 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Ukraine’s Western partners are showing interest in ground-based robotic systems (GROS), but are completely unprepared for their real implementation and use in their own armies. The main reasons are the lack of combat experience, outdated bureaucratic approaches, and a lack of understanding of the specifics of modern technological warfare.

UX/UI Designer Anastasia Krystopchuk spoke about a fraudulent hiring scheme she encountered while looking for a job. According to her, the fake company CarrotDevs published vacancies on Work.ua, conducted interviews and sent offers, after which it tried to gain access to candidates' bank details through an «onboarding platform.»

In Threads, a mobilized IT guy with the nickname oncceuponatime_dude keeps a diary about how he ended up in the army. We’ve already told you about his experience from «gentle busification» and a night in the CCK barracks to his first day in the battalion . In the second part of the AIT man’s confessions and discoveries, he talked about the BZVP, «NATO shots on the lips,» and «playing stormtroopers.» In the third part of the diary, the AIT member shared his thoughts on why those who were converted to the military do not flee the army, how different the conditions of service are for staff and infantry personnel, and weapons in the blanket. This is the fourth part of his observations — about intimidation in the army and the redeployment of the unit, not without surprises.

Most companies that are serious about digital marketing sooner or later come to the point where they need a technical function within their team. Someone assembles a classic MarTech team. At Boosters, we took a different path — and in two months, we recorded savings of 350 hours of specialist work.

When Roman Gimon’s son was one year and eight months old, the family first heard about the high suspicion of ASD. Ahead lay fear, dozens of hours of searching for information, Facebook groups, conflicting advice, and the constant feeling that no one could properly explain what to do next. Today, Roman — creative director of mowMedia, graphic designer, and father of six-year-old Eney — is creating Enchi: an app for parents of children with autism 0 without a development team, without a technical background, and almost entirely with the help of AI tools.

And so it is: yesterday Uklon gave a solid jazz performance in Boryspil. While we are arguing about tariffs in the rain, the guys rolled out their Autonomous car to the interchange near Terminal F.

In March 2026, Anthropic launched the official Claude Certified Architect (CCA) certification to test architectural skills for building enterprise AI systems. Vladislav Babenko, Senior Software Engineer at EPAM Systems, was one of the first in the company to pass this complex and exclusive exam. As a practicing developer, he sought not just to get another “distinction”, but to confirm his qualifications as an AI Engineer and master the latest AI practices. Vladyslav shares in detail in our material how the closed certification from the creators of Claude is organized, why the real exam turned out to be more difficult than the training tests, and how to prepare for production-level testing in three weeks.

A website is a digital asset of a brand. It becomes a full-fledged asset when it starts to consistently generate measurable cash flow and reduce the cost of customer acquisition. This is usually noticeable through a few key changes.

Veteran Oleksandr «Pykh» is currently a Lead System Engineer/Data DevOps at EPAM Systems. He has over 10 years of experience in IT, including about 5 years of specialization in AWS Cloud. His resume also includes a difficult experience that IT professionals from most countries of the world cannot list on their CVs: about three years in the Defense Forces during a full-scale war with Russia.

«I was extremely high, because everyone on the field played with us. Everyone had the opportunity to feel what they could do. I scored my first goal and was happy like a child,» says veteran Taras Kovalyk, who took part in the second wheelchair basketball competition among veterans.

When you spend 6-8 hours a day in front of a screen, everything becomes critically important: how naturally your hand rests on the mouse, whether your eyes don't get tired from small print, and whether your internet will withstand another power outage right in the middle of an important daily. Together with Telemart, we've put together three levels of setups from entry-level to uncompromising premium, which show you how to organize a space for productive work and evening gaming sessions.

While everyone is arguing whether AI will replace programmers and marketers, another interesting story is beginning in e-commerce: artificial intelligence in online stores is gradually turning into a system that independently performs tasks within the retail business. Today, the topic of AI agents «under the hood» is actively developing. This is not just a separate tool that is installed on a website, but a solution under the hood of an online store. Let’s take a look at why AI agents are so special.

Eight years ago, Gennady Tatarkin worked in a furniture factory and built a completely understandable professional life. Work, plans, the usual rhythm — everything changed in an instant after a work injury, when his hand had to be amputated. There were months of adaptation ahead, painful getting used to the new reality, dozens of interviews and rejections, after which, even if no one said it out loud, one thing was clear: employers did not believe that a person with a prosthesis would be able to work on an equal footing with others. At that time, it seemed that along with his hand, he lost his usual future. But today, Gennady works in the EPAM archival department, digitizes documents, travels from Bila Tserkva to the Kyiv office, undergoes corporate training on the use of AI, and is convinced: there is no business that he could not master if he allowed himself to try. Gennady told dev.ua how he survived the loss of his hand, why employers often create barriers for people with disabilities, and how, step by step, he regained simple things that once seemed impossible — from cooking potatoes according to his own recipe to tying shoelaces with one hand.

The stumbling block and the main factor that hindered the mass adoption of cryptocurrency technologies has always been their complexity. And for a long time, the only proposed solution was “learn”, “become an expert”, until wallets and services began to move in the opposite direction: not to wait for the user to gain experience and responsibility, but to go to him himself - with a convenient service that solves the basic difficulties. Someone for this went towards centralization, someone stubbornly continued to work purely within the framework of a pure blockchain . But both approaches came across one circumstance: the user still had to understand what he was doing. But now we live in a new era. AI has changed the approach: it does not require the user to understand the inner workings, but simply does the job — or suggests how to do it better. To do this, it does not need a human expert, but only public data and permission to act. Let's analyze how AI simplifies crypto today - using real examples from 2025–2026.

Leaving a comfortable studio to realize your own dream is a step that only a few dare to take. But what awaits a developer when a stable salary and a producer with deadlines disappear? Three Ukrainian solo developers honestly told dev.ua about their experience: from the real size of the financial cushion and free software to burnout, the search for publishers and the golden rule of game development - "plan for three months, do for a year."

OpenClaw has arrived. Millions of people have downloaded it, played with it, been blown away by how this crap eats up corporate money for tokens, whined in Telegram channels… and now what to do with it? What is the real use case for this agent revolution?
