In the Ukrainian tech sector, it is not uncommon for startups to be co-founded not just by business partners, but also by life partners — married couples or people in relationships. Sometimes such projects have grown into powerful players or even leaders in their market — examples of Rozetka, founded by Vladyslav and Iryna Chechotkin, or Mate Academy, co-founded by the couple Anna and Roman Apostol, are illustrative. Much has been written about these businesses, but right now, let’s focus on marriage-partner startups with Ukrainian roots. Whether they will ultimately be truly successful or will end up in the «startup graveyard» is a matter of personal preference. After all, our selection includes startups at various stages, founded by couples or people in relationships, without analyzing their existing background, prospects, business models, and amounts of funds raised.

This afternoon, July 1, drones attacked the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant «Kupol» in the Udmurt Republic, 1,300 km from the border with Ukraine. It is one of the main producers of the Tor and Osa air defense systems and the Harpy strike UAVs for the enemy army. One of the videos of the «Fluty» drone flight published on Russian resources shows that the drone does not have a chassis, which means it is launched not from the road, but from a stationary catapult or a special mobile transport platform. This improvement is likely to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the strike drone and allow it to consume less fuel, which would increase the drone’s flight range or allow it to install additional payloads, as well as reduce radar visibility. In addition, the more streamlined shape of the «Furious» could increase the drone’s speed. We remind you of what is known about the most ferocious Ukrainian drone.

The world is once again on the brink of economic turbulence. A recession in the US, the likely return of Donald Trump to the White House, a weakening dollar, and heightened geopolitical risks are creating a perfect storm for financial markets. And at the same time, they are giving a new impetus to cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.

PMO and Odoo engineer Anastasia Myroshnyk complained in Threads that she has a developer on her team who writes all the code using artificial intelligence. However, this does not add dynamics to the project — the code often does not work. She asked the community if it is normal for AI to do all the work of a programmer. Here is what IT professionals think about this.

I communicate with dozens of candidates every week. On the outside, everything is familiar: experience, resume, salary expectations. And most live in a country where war is ongoing. Where the background level of anxiety has long been off the charts. And that’s why something deeper is often hidden under classic career questions.

Every newly created system is unstable. Is it impossible to accept it or not? Remember the first airplanes — they were unreliable and, as a result, unpredictable. In 1903, the Wright brothers lifted their plane into the air for about 12 seconds. In 1908, one of the demonstration flights ended in the death of a passenger. At the beginning of the 20th century, accidents were commonplace. But everything has changed, and thank God.

C++ Developer Vyacheslav S. asked the community whether it is necessary to add information about the military accounting specialty and deferment, if any, to the resume. The community is considering this issue — the conclusions are disappointing.
