We’ve trained thousands of engineers before — now we’re on a new track – to focus on the skills that power Embedded systems, from everyday devices to technologies that help protect our freedom. This is just the beginning of what’s to come.

We raised $4.5M seed to build a digital bank in Belarus. At the time it felt like the future: wallets, instant transfers, mobile-first design. But the truth was harsh: the market wasn’t ready, and the regulations were hostile. What in 3–5 years would look like a perfect business… in that moment could put you in jail. That’s when I learned: being early can be as dangerous as being wrong. In business, timing is everything. The skill is not just building something “cool” — it’s creating the situation where technology, regulation, and society are ready to adopt it.

I know that's all we hear these days, but there's a significant divide between AI hype and the practical reality of using these tools every day. After years of experimenting with AI tools across DataArt's 6000+ team, here's what I'm actually seeing: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: Code migration, QA automation, documentation, test generation, code refactoring, API integration. We've seen measurable and drastic reductions in time spent on these well-defined tasks. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭: Complex corporate software with stringent security requirements, compliance needs, domain-specific logic, and deep integration with proprietary systems. The performance of AI tools declines fast as we move toward this reality. The biggest misconception I hear from other leaders is that AI will reduce billable hours and hurt revenue. But that's still not a reason to avoid using AI. It's our professional duty to give clients the best value for their money. And no matter what you do, competitors 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 use AI. By lowering costs, AI actually increases demand because more projects pass ROI thresholds and get approved. Another thing to keep in mind is that while it's natural to adopt AI quickly, it's also natural to think things through, take things slow and be cautious, because it's still new tech. While startups can pivot, address issues quickly, or even change their brand, corporations are far more liable for compliance, security, and mistakes are too costly. Right now, we're treating some projects as investments in accumulating AI experience. There will be mistakes, but acquiring these skills is just reality now. It reminds me of the early cloud computing days - we started with little experience, specialists emerged over time, and now we have the deepest expertise. The structural nature of software development won't change drastically in the short term. Instead, individual components like DevOps and QA will accelerate faster than others. Our job is to learn and stay on top of this powerful new technology. #DataArtVoices #AI #BigData #AgenticAI #DigitalTransformation

Three cheers for Kamil Mrzygłód's "Azure for Developers 3rd Edition"! Even as someone who isn’t a full-time developer, I found Azure for Developers to be surprisingly approachable and engaging. The author strikes a great balance between clarity and depth, guiding the reader through both foundational concepts and advanced Azure services without assuming you live and breathe code every day. One of the book’s greatest strengths is the book's strategic perspective. Kamil doesn’t simply list Azure features, he thoughtfully compares different approaches, explaining the pros and cons of each and when you might choose one over another. This kind of insight is invaluable, helping you make better strategic, architectural, and tactical decisions rather than just learning "button-click" instructions. The technical writing is excellent, well-structured, logical, and free of unnecessary jargon. Even complex services like Azure Functions, Application Insights, or container hosting are explained in a way that feels both accurate and digestible. The inclusion of real-world examples, CI/CD pipeline guidance, and integration tips makes it clear the author has hands-on expertise. Special mention goes to the index, because no technical book is complete without one. It’s easy to quickly find relevant topics, which is a real time-saver when you’re in the middle of a project and just need that one key detail or guidance. If I had to point out a minor drawback, it would be that the diagrams are fairly basic. They're functional, but not as visually rich or detailed as the text deserves. That said, the writing more than compensates, and the visuals still serve their purpose. Overall, I feel that Azure for Developers is a well-crafted, practical, and insightful guide that is equally valuable for career developers and those of us who work with Azure as part of a broader role. It’s a resource I’ll be keeping close at hand. Many thanks to Deepak Kumar for helping me get a review copy! #azure #microsoft Packt #books #authors
