Shooting down a "shaheed", even in VR, turned out to be difficult. At first, your hands tremble, then you lose your aim, and then suddenly you catch the moment and press the shutter.

42-year-old Android developer Oleksandr Plekhov has been working in IT for 12 years. Not only years of experience in the industry led him to his current job at the American Mercury Intermedia, where the Ukrainian is engaged in the optimization of existing solutions and the integration of third-party services. The fact is that Oleksandr shone in IT, having a degree in chemistry, and he believes that it was his natural science background that helped him successfully build a career in IT. His path to the IT field began after receiving a master’s degree in chemistry at the V. N.

Good afternoon, community. My name is Serhiy Dovgy, I’m from Kharkiv. I’ve been involved in commercial programming since 2008. For the past seven years, I’ve been working at HOSTiQ as a PHP/JS Developer. In this article, I want to share my experience of creating a budget-friendly autonomous solar station in a private home. Yes, now the attacks on Ukraine’s energy system have stopped, but the war continues, so it’s better to be prepared.

Various sources have been claiming for some time that the coming winter will be incredibly difficult for Ukrainians. Perhaps even the most difficult in the entire history of Ukraine’s independence. Therefore, we need to prepare for the cold now. Bohdan Kalinin, an engineer at i3 Engineering, a company specializing in smart home and automation systems, previously shared his tips for preparing for winter 2022. However, his advice is extremely relevant for preparing for the coming winter. The excerpt is taken from the DOU material. Below is Bohdan’s full comment.

Volodymyr Stadnik, Lead Java Developer at EPAM, personally made his house in the suburbs of Lviv energy-independent. Equipping the house with alternative power sources cost the IT guy about UAH 100,000. Now he and his family can live comfortably without power supply for 20 hours.

Flutter developer Serhiy Kurdyukov published a set of devices and services on LinkedIn a year ago that will allow you to survive long power outages almost painlessly. The set is extremely relevant in today’s realities, so we are publishing the instructions from a specialist again.

During power outages in high-rise residential buildings, one of the most common problems is residents getting stuck in elevators. Some try to use elevators only during periods when outages are not predicted. Some have refused to use elevators at all (although there are categories of people for whom this is difficult or practically impossible). Still others rely on chance or — in the event of a jam — on neighbors, condominium employees, rescuers, or elevator maintenance services. We wrote about this decision a year ago, but its relevance has not diminished at all.

The enemy continues to purposefully attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure. On October 7 alone, the enemy struck more than 26 energy facilities, knocking out power in several regions. YASNO Director General Serhiy Kovalenko warned a month ago that there is no particular optimism after the latest attacks, and the coming winter may be the most difficult. To maintain comfort, connectivity, and the ability to work, it's worth taking care of the necessary autonomous devices and safety measures in advance. We've collected the best devices used by the dev.ua editorial team, among others, to help you through the dark times.

If you work in IT, 2026 will bring many challenges. As an IT recruiter and Head of Talent Acquisition at IdeaSoft with many years of experience, I can already see what is changing. In this article, I will talk about the most important trends and support them with specific data and analytics.

Everyone usually smiles at interviews, but it is soft skills that decide who stays after the trial period. Today, IT increasingly values ​​not only knowledge, but also how people interact, listen and react. Recruiters have long said that they are looking for not just technically savvy specialists, but also people who are pleasant to work with, team players with developed empathy, communication skills, etc. We learned how IT recruiters and managers actually value these skills — and where the line is between «emotionally mature» and «overconfident». Moreover, recruiters told what «tricky» questions they ask candidates to assess their human qualities.

One of the winners of this year’s startup competition at IT Arena 2025 was HEFT — a startup that offers a health, mobility, and fertility tracker for cows in the form of a special collar. In the startup competition during this event, HEFT took second place and took home a prize of $10,000, only losing out to Ovul — a startup that created the world’s first hormonal tracker that determines fertility and estrogen levels in women. An interesting coincidence, but instead of inappropriate sexist jokes, we simply state — it’s really cool that Ukrainian startups are solving this problem, and not only for their own species :)

Daily attacks on civilian infrastructure in cities and villages, horror stories about winter without gas and electricity, as well as constant «all-out burning» in the news from the front, complete clouding of the brain and one’s own future, and, worst of all, news of the dead: both casual acquaintances and very close and dear people. The word «stress» is too weak to describe the reality of Ukrainians in any way. Nevertheless, it is now impossible to imagine any other place on the planet where the issue of combating stress, overwork, tension, as well as psychological disorders and mental illnesses would be more relevant than in Ukraine.
