29-year-old Semen Zakharov has been in IT for about two years and currently works as a Junior Frontend Developer at Ratifire, a company that develops an online platform Skillzzii for training and assessing interview skills. But he didn’t get into the tech world right away. For a long time, he wanted to become a trainer, tried his hand at the restaurant industry, and even embarked on a business path, but he could never have imagined then that he would become a developer. Semen told dev.ua what made him go into an industry that was the opposite of what he had seen and tried in his life, and how he managed to jump on the «last train» despite the difficulties that accompany switchers in their search for work.

Android Developer Yevgeny Maslak has a mixed attitude towards children’s programming courses. On the one hand, he sees some benefit from them, just like any other clubs, but on the other hand, looking at the courses, from the point of view of a future profession, it’s a waste of time, because «everything will be forgotten, damn it.» Do other technical specialists agree with him and what arguments in this case are convincing to them?

Ukrainian esports players have won major tournaments many times, including The International in Dota 2 and majors in Counter-Strike.
