Dutch game developer Lente revealed that she paused her studies in 2022 to try her hand at a career in game development. While living on a 90-year-old boat, she created a short game called Spilled!, where a very similar ship cleans up water bodies from pollution. The project has Ukrainian localization and has already collected over 1,000 positive reviews on Steam.

At one of the conferences, which have been happening a lot in Kyiv lately, we happened to meet lawyer Maksym Kurochko.

Large AI models can lie to their users under pressure, according to a study called Model Alignment between Statements and Knowledge (MASK). While various tests and tools test AI for accuracy, the MASK benchmark was designed to determine whether an AI believes what it tells users — and under what circumstances it might provide incorrect information. The study tested 27 models from the GPT, Llama, Qwen, Claude, and DeepSeek families.

Two childhood friends, developer Roman Galdava and graphic designer Vadym Yaremchuk, created a tool to increase video views on YouTube — Thumbnailed it. It analyzes audience preferences and creates optimized cover, title, and description with a focus on clickability. Thanks to this, the user quickly receives a ready-made design for a YouTube video by simply sending a link to the script to the bot. The startup is already on its way to its first investment, and in the future it plans to expand the list of niches, including Amazon.

My name is Diana, I am a software developer at the product company BOTMAKERS LLC. For some time, I have been actively working on Instafill.ai technology, the main task of which is to relieve lawyers and ordinary users from the routine of filling out PDF forms. In this article, I want to reveal what solution became the foundation for our project and show how we improved it in practice. My task is not just to tell about my own experience, but also to show the evolution of the Instafill.ai idea: from the initial concept in the form of a simple Python script to a modern tool. This material will be useful for developers who want to optimize work with documentation and create intelligent systems for automation. Who knows — maybe our experience in developing Instafill.ai will become a starting point for your experiments!

A 32-year-old Ukrainian developer from Uzhhorod, before the full-scale invasion, had been working peacefully for more than 10 years in many companies, creating various software for his customers, and had never thought about a different fate. However, since February 2022, a full-scale invasion has turned his life and work upside down, as it has for many Ukrainians. The man joined the hacker community, but chose the «white» side of the force. The hunter under the nickname «stopwar» told dev.ua about what attracted him to this field, what distinguishes «black» hackers from «white» or «ethical» hackers, and what a specialist can expect in the future.
