"We once believed in drones. Now we have to believe in missiles." BlueBird Tech co-founder on the new stage of Ukrainian miltech, dependence on China and the shortage of engineers - 7 questions for the CEO
Ukrainian miltech has already proven its strength in drones to the world. The next big technological breakthrough could be missiles. In a new series of publications, dev.ua asks seven important questions to the leaders of Ukrainian defense tech companies. Today’s speaker is BlueBird Tech co-founder Valeriy Zarubin, with whom we talk about dependence on Chinese components, the shortage of engineers, the opening of R&D centers in Europe, and why Ukrainian IT should move from outsourcing to creating its own products.
"I would go to deftech, but..." What really scares IT workers away from defense - from remote work to fear of mobilization
"I would go to deftech, but..." What really scares IT workers away from defense - from remote work to fear of mobilization
Ukrainian defense tech has been one of the hottest areas for hiring engineers for several years. Companies are looking for developers, testers, embedded specialists, AI, computer vision, and other specialists. At the same time, not all IT professionals are ready to change outsourcing, a product company, or a startup to work on defense technologies.
Some candidates fear security risks, mobilization, or industry instability. Others don’t see the job for them due to the technology stack or the requirement to work from an office.
dev.ua asked representatives of miltech companies and analyzed the answers about the readiness for deftech of IT specialists themselves, and found out what exactly repels people from defense tech and whether these fears correspond to reality.

Digital sovereignty or digital addiction. A great interview with the co-founder of GigaCloud
Why have global giants suddenly started taking their data from America back to Europe, while Ukrainian companies are moving servers underground? We visited Anton Khvastunov (co-founder of the largest Ukrainian cloud GigaCloud) to find out what’s happening with clouds, why hardware prices have skyrocketed, and when a Ukrainian replacement for 1 °C will finally appear.

In Threads, a mobilized IT guy with the nickname oncceuponatime_dude keeps a diary about how he ended up in the army. We’ve already told you about his experience from «gentle busification» and a night in the CCK barracks to his first day in the battalion .
In the second part of the AIT man’s confessions and discoveries, he talked about the BZVP, «NATO shots on the lips,» and «playing stormtroopers.»
In the third part of the diary, the AIT member shared his thoughts on why those who were converted to the military did not flee the army, how different the conditions of service are in the staff and infantry, and weapons in the blanket.
The fourth part of his observations — about intimidation in the army and the redeployment of the unit — is not without surprises .
Today we are publishing the fifth part of the frankness — about intimidation in the army, losses, and life in a front-line city.

How to live happily while building a business: joy not after deadlines, but between them
In today’s world of technology and business, being busy has become a kind of indicator of success. Calendars are filled with meetings for weeks ahead, deadlines are rolling in wave after wave, and the line between work and personal life is increasingly blurred. As the Head of Talent Acquisition Department at IdeaSoft, I communicate every day with managers, highly qualified specialists who work in a constant state of stress. And sometimes the conversations ultimately boil down to the question: how to stay productive and at the same time not lose the sense of joy in life?

Ukrainian IT companies risk fines of up to €35 million due to AI: who will be affected by the new EU law?
Typical situation: AI sorts resumes, screens out candidates, and suggests who to hire. For business, this is, of course, optimization. But for an EU regulator, it affects access to work. And this is already a risk zone.
So if the system filters candidates, evaluates them, and influences hiring decisions, then it is already subject to strict requirements.

Why you should take the Stack Overflow 2026 international survey, even if Stack Overflow is “dead”
This week, Stack Overflow's annual international survey began, asking questions about technology, experience, and salaries. If you're involved in IT — as a developer, tester, designer, manager, or even a beginner just starting out in this field — and want to see more orders coming to Ukraine from the UK, EU, and the US, I highly recommend taking this survey.
