So we decided to investigate how the Ukrainian IT market is dealing with this. To do this, we monitored hundreds of vacancies on jobs.dou for almost a month, and also asked companies whether they would require web coding experience for their candidates.

Yesterday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered one of his most outspoken speeches since the start of the full-scale war.

Quite often, entrepreneurs underestimate the importance of clearly delineating the roles of a CMO, marketer, digital marketer, or SMM specialist in their business, creating a situation where executors are given responsibility for the strategist’s duties or vice versa.

In Web3, classic Web2 hiring methods often simply don’t work. According to the Electric Capital Developer Report 2024, over 65% of active Web3 engineers have never had experience in large corporations, and over 70% demonstrate their skills openly — through GitHub, hackathons, or DAOs. In this ecosystem, experience is not hidden behind NDAs; it lives in commits, contributions, and open repositories. Over 80% of Web3 teams work remotely or asynchronously, and the average time to accept an offer here is 4–6 days, compared to 2–3 weeks in Web2. It’s not just numbers — it’s a different pace and culture. Teams that continue to operate according to old principles with multi-level interviews, long feedback, and checking every CV item lose candidates before the final stage. In Web3, those who know how to evaluate not formalities, but code, culture, and speed win. Because it’s not “where you worked” that matters, but what you’ve created and how you think. Below, I’ll break down the six most common mistakes recruiters make when trying to hire Web3 engineers the “old way” — and what you should do differently.

He is currently successfully transforming many years of experience in testing and team management into educational products for his colleagues, being a mentor, as well as the founder and main ideologist of the «QA-Ukraine» community. In a conversation with him, dev.ua discussed many professional and personal issues — will automation make manual testers an «endangered species», why a QA specialist in a large outsourcer and a small studio are actually two different professions, for which testers AI will be a useful daily tool, and for whom it will take away their job, and why many switchers stubbornly deceive themselves by going into IT. In addition, Oleksa Mashchyts told why it is fundamentally important for him to be Ukrainian-speaking even in thoughts and not to cross paths with Russians at all — even good ones. About this and more — in a large interview.

He told dev.ua about his most popular projects and the problems of their development.

I remember well how trendy the introduction of the OKR (Objectives and key results) system was about 15 years ago, because it was "the approach that Google uses." And overall, the OKR framework is brilliant, correct, and convenient for working with tasks. But for some reason, in some companies, its implementation ends the same way - beautiful slides, a bunch of goals, meetings about nothing, and zero changes. Why is this happening? Because small and medium-sized businesses usually simply don't have the resources to maintain a complex system — they turn it into reporting. So simplifying it is not an option, but a condition for survival. So here's a quick summary: what breaks OKRs and how to create the minimum required working format for small and medium-sized businesses.

We tried to figure out what is behind these plans and why the piece of pie that the Ministry of Digital Affairs wants to bite off may be in its throat.

Standing in queues is probably one of those things that annoys people of any age, gender, temperament, nationality and social status.

Once upon a time, content on a website was treated as something secondary, so they didn’t pay much attention to working with it. However, over time, this attitude has changed, because behind the texts and visuals there are meanings hidden, namely, they form the trust of potential customers and become a step towards mutual sympathy with their audience. Texts, videos and visuals create the first impression of the brand and bring buyers. But, on the other hand, accurate data is important for marketing. So it’s time to talk about whether it is possible to measure the effectiveness of content and how to do it.
