The IT market is growing every day, and with it, so is the competition. Companies are finding it more difficult to find talent that fits their business strategy. They are asking: what kind of specialists do we need? Who should we look for — narrow experts or universal specialists? The answer lies in the combination of both qualities: it is the balance that allows us to achieve key OKRs and KPIs. These professionals are called T-shaped specialists, and their ability to adapt to change makes them indispensable in solving complex tasks.

How to unite a team that works mostly remotely is extremely rare? Over the past 5 years, employers have had to change the paradigm of teambuilding, adapting corporate events to the challenges of the time.

In mid-January, the news that Ukraine plans to start its own chip production was very loud — it was spread by almost every media outlet. Before that, creating conditions for the development of the semiconductor technology industry was identified as strategic goal No. 14 in the Strategy for Digital Development of Innovations until 2030, which was finally presented to the public. Yevgeny Astakhov, a member of the expert team at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, which is working on a sectoral strategy, notes in a comment for dev.ua that Ukraine does not need to focus on advanced nodes, but rather focus on simple and mass solutions. «The cost of a factory using advanced technologies can reach tens of billions of dollars. Instead, mature nodes, such as 180–130 nm, 65–28 nm, are optimal for meeting urgent needs. Building a factory using such technologies is more economically feasible, which makes it attractive to investors,» he argues.
