In today’s dynamic world, there are specialists who have already reached the senior level in their specialty by the age of 25, having worked almost since school or since the beginning of their studies at a university. Surprisingly, not everyone likes this. However, this fact cannot be ignored. Diana Koval, 23, from Dnipro, has been working since she was 17 and is now a Senior Software Engineer (React.js). The girl is surprised to hear about conversations where specialists are compared by age. She shared with dev.ua the arguments and criteria by which, in her opinion, it is more effective to evaluate specialists, and also talked about her path to the senior level and gave some advice to specialists who strive to grow, regardless of age.

I have worked with AI implementation in both large enterprise companies and small startups, and I am sure that now is the perfect time to launch your AI product and realize your dream of creating a startup.

Back in late 2021, New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams said he was ready to receive his first three salaries in cryptocurrency. In January 2022, the exchange rate fell by 50% from its historical high, and 11 months later by a total of 80%. However, he did not change his mind and did not sell the assets — in December 2024, when the BTC rate at that moment exceeded the $104,000 mark (50% higher than the 2021 highs), he recorded an answer to all his skeptics. Look at his happy face! But, of course, it wasn’t that simple. By law, Adams couldn’t receive his payments in digital assets, so his salary was converted on the Coinbase exchange and only then received in his personal wallet in the form of Bitcoin and Ethereum. As of 2025, the situation in the legal field has practically not changed — which raises the question: Could cryptocurrency wages become the standard of our future?

Our conversation with Managing Director at Luxoft Ukraine Olena Samborska began a few months ago with an attempt to get a comment on why the Ukrainian office of the IT giant reduced the employer branding function, which included, among other things, PR and media communications. Ultimately, this function has now been transferred to the global level. One way or another, this did not prevent us from agreeing to an interview with Ms. Olena on a wide range of issues — the company’s performance and the Ukrainian IT market, the outflow of personnel abroad, cooperation with government agencies, reservations and veteran policy, the trend towards returning to offices and its (ir)relevance for Ukraine, as well as the prospects for Ukrainian IT in the context of global turbulence and on the verge of a global recession. All this and more — below.

The Russians are spreading numerous promotional videos on Chinese social media, inviting Chinese citizens to join the army and fight against Ukraine. Some of the videos are skillfully crafted Russian propaganda about «cool» men; some are more like influencer ads about work vacations.

RWA tokens have become one of the most talked-about trends of 2025. Many experts believe that their widespread adoption could be the catalyst for a new large-scale bullish trend in the crypto market. However, despite years of discussion, RWA tokens remain undervalued. Why is this the case? If the concept has existed since the beginning of the blockchain era, why have so few projects been able to launch RWA tokens successfully? The answer is obvious: legal uncertainty. The regulatory framework remains unstable and unclear, making it difficult for projects to comply with legal requirements.

You have a decent income, many goals, but you just can’t seem to achieve them. Does this sound familiar?

According to the current trends in the IT development labor market, employers no longer need the same skillset of 2020-2021. Today’s early-stage developers in the AI ​​era must have a completely different set of stacks to qualify for an offer. This is confirmed by both experienced Ukrainian tech specialists and co-founders of the startup Hello Interview Evan King and Stefan May. They believe that the results of candidates who would have secured an offer in 2021 may not even make it to the selection stage today. According to HR experts, the opinions of experienced developers on this issue and the position of the business are slightly different. We decided to look towards the latter and find out how the requirements for junior developers have changed in recent years, what skills the employer is looking for in beginners, and how juniors can generally «hook» the employer.

The full-scale invasion was not only a test for Pavel Oleksyn, but also the moment when he made one of the most important decisions in his life — to leave medicine and move to IT.

He had to overcome doubts, find time to study, and adapt to a completely different work environment.

Imagine the picture: somewhere in the local tax authorities there are people who, having seen an unusual transaction by one of the card users, monitor websites selling goods such as OLX and identify so-called violator sellers there, record their ads and evidence of transactions, draw up administrative protocols in order to later issue a fine. This picture looks quite realistic. And, if it weren’t for the decisions of the courts, which do not see the screenshots of the fiscals provided as evidence, in fact, evidence, then the sellers from OLX had to pay a lot to the state treasury. dev.ua, despite the assurances of tax officials that sellers of personal goods are not being touched, found evidence of how they «give nightmares» to those who, selling goods for 100 or 50 UAH, are not registered entrepreneurs.
