The new 20th separate regiment of unmanned systems, which is being created at the K-2 base of the 57th OMBr, is looking for IT specialists.

The war changed everything: businesses had to adapt quickly in order to survive, keep customers and prove that Ukraine continues to work despite shelling and blackouts. And the role of the account manager in this process has become crucial: to retain the client, develop relationships and turn cooperation into stable income.

PR Manager at Pingle Game Studio Yulia Tugolukova is 33 years old. And already a year ago, the girl started saving for her future pension. «I regret that I did not do this earlier, just as I did not deal with the issue of my savings in principle. «Over the past year, my behavior model has changed significantly: I started to take a deeper interest in this topic, I took several online courses on financial literacy,» the girl says. Julia gradually came to the realization that the current lifestyle will be difficult to maintain in old age if nothing is changed right now. «By the way, you can check your projected pension on the website of the Pension Fund of Ukraine. It is 10,000 hryvnias per month for me — certainly not the smallest, but it is still a pittance compared to my current monthly expenses,» says the specialist. Yuliya has been regularly replenishing her account in the non-state pension fund «Dynasty» for a year now. In addition, he has an OVDP and regularly buys foreign currency. «I put aside 10 to 20% of my income in total. I reinvest all the income, and it conditionally goes to retirement,» says the PR woman. Yulia plans to open a brokerage account and start investing in shares of foreign companies, since the yield there is much higher than that of instruments available in Ukraine. Such a responsible approach to securing one’s future is not surprising. After all, the Ministry of Social Policy recently announced yet another new approach to pension provision, which may begin to operate as early as 2025. dev.ua conducted a survey among IT professionals on how they take care of their secure old age. We present the results.

Vyacheslav Yezhov, the brother of «STALKER Clear Sky» developer Volodymyr «Fresh» Yezhov, who died in 2022 near Bakhmut while defending Ukraine from a Russian invasion, said that he would appreciate how STALKER 2 promotes Ukrainian culture.

The crisis changes the rules of the game for business, and financial management comes to the fore. As the CEO of an outsourced company, I have been convinced more than once how important it is to properly manage resources, especially in conditions of uncertainty. So today I want to share the experience of DreamX and practical recommendations that may be useful to other companies.

Last month, tech entrepreneur Yaroslav Azhnyuk raised an interesting topic, comparing venture capital investments in his startup Petcube and in Ukrainian defense-tech during 2.5 years of full-scale war. It turned out that the startup "won". That is, investors believe more in a laser for playing with cats than, say, in a fiber-optic drone that destroys invaders. It would seem that Western investors should now be fiercely interested in Ukrainian miltech, which is developing rapidly due to the challenges of war and is able to test the product practically on the battlefield. However, the desired "boom" is not observed. Therefore, together with investors, specialized experts, participants of the Ukrainian venture market and the public sector, we decided to find out why this is happening and what Ukrainian companies should do to attract more investors.

Рекрутерка Юля Лозинська знає, чому програмісти не можуть знайти роботу. «Ринок для програмістів просів. Вакансій мало, охочих занадто багато, зарплати зменшуються. Принаймні такі розмови ведуться у LinkedIn. Але чи справді це так? Нещодавно я закривала декілька ІТ-позицій, і от які помилки кандидатів я помітила», — написала фахівчиня та оприлюднила свої спостереження. 

Spoiler ahead. This is how it is prepared — very intensively and expensively. However, will it solve the problem of communication during blackouts completely and what are the obstacles on the way to the desired energy independence of the network?

What happens after you’re fired, what’s next? For many IT people, there is no simple answer. After historic mass layoffs in 2023 and 2024, tech hiring has slowed and the labor market looks increasingly bleak. Laid-off workers face an uncertain future. Business Insider spoke with eight former Googlers who were laid off in 2023 and 2024 about their journeys after Google. As a reminder: Google cut 6% of its workforce almost two years ago and will continue the cuts in 2024. Eight former Googlers affected by the layoffs, including one who later returned to the company, talk about what it was like to lose what some thought was their «dream job,» how they found themselves afterward, and share their advice for others who found themselves in similar circumstances.

Ці обмеження слідують за санкціями проти американських військових підрядників. Очікується, що Пекін посилить заборону на експорт компонентів для безпілотників вже в січні.

Ukrainian IT is primarily known for service giants and world-renowned manufacturers of hardware solutions. However, the kaleidoscope of companies that create the IT ecosystem in Ukraine is huge — from small product studios that few people have heard of to point outsourcers that often serve a small number of clients. And it is also worth talking about them, so that in the difficult current market, the people of Haiti have more chances to find a decent job and thereby support the country’s economy. Today, dev.ua will tell you about the IT people who have been collected by the company SharksCode («Sharkscode») for several years. We visited the capital office of SharksCode, talked with SharksCode specialists and found out how life is arranged in the company.

Recently, the rebels in Syria overthrew the regime of Bashar al-Assad. After suppressing the internal revolution of his people in 2011 (using, in particular, poison gas), almost 12 million people left the country and another 300,000 civilians died due to his years of repression and dictatorship. Now Assad and his family have found political asylum in Russia. The dictator's family includes his 49-year-old wife Asma Asad, who bore him 3 children. They got married way back in 2000, and shortly before that, the girl received a prestigious education in London and built a career in investment banking. How the sophisticated Asma Assad, who was called the "Rose of the desert", turned into the henchman of her dictator husband and what knowledge and technologies helped her turn Syria into a real corruption empire, read further in the article.

My name is Igor Horb, I have devoted 16 years to the creation and optimization of IT outsourcing services for business and I want to tell a little more about this topic. Today, the market of IT services in Ukraine is in a phase of active transformation and rethinking. Both approaches to service quality and the very model of its provision are changing. These changes became especially noticeable with the emergence of the concept of IT outsourcing in Ukraine. Outsourcing IT infrastructure maintenance to third-party companies has long become the norm for SMB (small and medium-sized businesses) businesses. In Ukraine, this type of service is at a stage of rapid growth. Even 5 years ago, IT outsourcing was little known among broad business circles, but today the situation has changed radically.

What does your dog want when he stares you straight in the eye? And what does a cat feel, incessantly meowing and trying to touch your feet with its tail for the umpteenth time? Pet behavior is a mystery to pet parents, and to understand it requires certain knowledge and skills. Currently, scientists and developers from all over the world are working to learn to understand the language of animals, conducting numerous studies and creating «smart» applications that can supposedly read facial expressions or understand meows and barking tails. However, no technological tool has yet reached a perfect understanding of pets. And currently, the surest way to understand an animal is interaction with it. dev.ua within the PetTech partnership section with the largest Ukrainian cat and dog food manufacturer Kormotech has collected the most popular tools that pet parents should pay attention to in order to better understand their little friends, and also talked with zoopsychologist Oksana Galan about what we most often want say animals

Maria Budyonna, an administrator at a dental clinic, dared to make changes in her life and decided to start development in the field of QA. She began to actively study the basics of testing and asked for help from the people of Haiti. But, apart from practical advice, not everyone thinks her act is right. According to IT specialists, is it worth conquering the direction of testing at the moment.

Parents have different approaches to where their children will pursue higher education (and whether they will pursue it at all). Someone, from the height of their own life experience, allows themselves to decide for their children, someone just lightly «push» and prompt, and someone sends the offspring to «free swimming» and tries not to influence their choice. One way or another, the issue of higher education is actively discussed between parents and children when they reach adolescence. And some parents start thinking about it much earlier. Therefore, within the framework of this material, parents from Aitiv were asked to share their thoughts on the topic of higher education — whether top Ukrainian universities remain the dream of technological youth, or whether their diplomas have turned into a formality, which they have long since stopped chasing.

The Chinese video application TikTok is on the verge of a nationwide ban in the United States, because on Friday, the country's Federal Court of Appeals supported the need for the sale of the social network or its filing ban if the sale does not take place. As Bloomberg reminds us , in April, President Joe Biden signed a law that would ban the app in the US unless the Chinese owner relinquishes control over it. TikTok's parent company, ByteDance Ltd., was given until Jan. 19, 2025, to find a U.S. buyer and agree to a sale, which the Chinese tech giant has refused to do.

16-year-old Tymofiy Meshkov studies in an ordinary school in Kharkiv, and no one in his family has anything to do with energy. However, the young man says that he gradually came to the research life. He has always liked programming, mathematics and physics and now he has already developed a project of the possibility of placing a transformer underground with compliance with the thermal regime to protect the power system from rocket attacks and Shaheds. This was Tymofiy’s first global project, with which he won a gold award at the International Warsaw Invention Show (IWIS) in October, where he participated as a resident of the Small Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He told dev.ua how it can work, how much money will be needed to move the transformers underground and what difficulties will have to be faced.

One in three adults under the age of 35 (33%) are more favorable to brands with a sound identity, compared to 20% of adults of all ages. These are the results of a study conducted by the British audio agency DLMDD and the market research and data analytics company YouGov. However, only a small number of companies in Ukraine have such a branding element, so the robota.ua team decided to be one of the first to dive into global trends and develop their own mobile application notification sound.

An effective development team is the «foundation» of any technology business. Therefore, it is not surprising that hiring one specialist can cost from $56,500 to $269,000, depending on the position, skills and location. Therefore, to attract top developers and save money, companies turn to IT recruiting agencies or service companies that create R&D centers. There, a team consisting of IT Recruitment Research Analyst, IT researchers and IT recruiters helps to meet these needs. What these roles are, where their responsibilities are demarcated, and what value each brings to the business — let’s figure it out further.

The web was flooded with texts, images and videos generated by artificial intelligence. Even Coca-Cola does not shy away from the tools of generative artificial intelligence — this year’s commercial was created by the company with the help of Generative AI. However, users were clearly dissatisfied with such content. And copywriter Oleksiy Shepeliuk recalled how in one copywriting agency where he got a job, there was a loud scandal when one of the authors of the texts sent the customer material generated with the help of ChatGPT. And in general, as team leader Artem Reva emphasized: «The era is coming when it is difficult to distinguish a fake from reality.» So, while the circulation of AI products is not yet regulated at the legislative level, many are wondering how to distinguish AI content from that created by a real living person. dev.ua interviewed and collected the opinions of several experts who will help in this matter. They shared tools and tricks on how to recognize the creations of artificial intelligence.
