If there's one thing we're mostly excited about from this update, is being able to showcase our upcoming updated PoC process. Less time, more value. That's all we can say for now (and we apologize in advance to the rest of the security vendors, but that's just in our DNA. Alerting doesn't work; it's all about the actual work/remediation!).

Hello everyone! Below is a post about hiring in Uzum E-com Uzum, one of the biggest IT projects in Central Asia, has a new ambitious challenge! And to implement it, of course, we need reinforcements! A little context: Two years ago, Uzum started to build a digital ecosystem in Uzbekistan based on Fintech and E-com. Today, the result is impressive - the company has not only become the country's first tech unicorn, but has also built the country's largest marketplace and the most popular delivery service for restaurants and stores! But the best part of this story is that this is just the beginning! The Uzbek market has huge potential and we plan to unleash it to the maximum! Therefore, in addition to ambitious plans for the development of FinTech products, we have set an extremely ambitious goal for E-com. Namely, we want to create a business with a turnover of over $1 billion from the E-com vertical Uzum (Market and Tezkor) in the medium term! Now to the main topic: To meet such a challenge, we need even more talented and ambitious colleagues who can bring us additional energy, expertise and ideas. Given our ambitions and growth rates, we need reinforcements in almost all teams, including Product, Data, Tech, Finance, Operations, HR and more. If you have successful experience in e-com or related fields, and have the desire to build e-com in one of the most potential markets in the world, then do not hesitate to write! At the same time, we are currently focusing on the search for - Head of Growth / Business Development Director of Uzum Market (a role in the C-level E-com team with responsibility for the entire demand block of the market business, including commercial and marketing) - Key managers and experts in the commercial team (including category development directors of large macro categories) - Key managers and experts in the marketing team (many new roles will be created as the business expands) Who to write to: - For the Head of Growth Uzum Market role and commercial roles, write to me. TG: @d_benzoruk - For marketing roles, write to Shamil Valishev (CMO Uzum Market). TG: @svalishev - For all other roles, contact Vera Dianova (HRD Uzum e-com). TG: @vera_di And of course I will be very grateful for recommendations and reposts!

My startup product is finally defined, validated on market and in development. My motto: People are still biggest problem in factories. Machines works great, until people use them good or fix them good during servis. So i decided remove this human error on maximum. My idea is, yes machines will replace people and machines builds machines, but in factories will stay people who will take care about these machines. This wont disappear never.

Przemysław has a business-oriented mindset and over 6 years of commercial experience. As a T-shaped developer, he is familiar with backend development, DevOps, and data work. He specializes in Web Vitals and website performance optimizations. A philosopher by passion, sports are his second nature. So, what will he share with us? 👨‍🏫 Simplicity in the spectrum: Identifying and overcoming overengineering 👨‍🏫 One of the main pillars of maturing as a developer is mastering the skill of striking the right balance between underengineering and overengineering. This session aims to equip developers with a systematic approach to dealing with the latter. We'll explore the common reasons that drive developers to overshoot their solutions, particularly in the realm of frontend development. Then, we'll discuss the signs and in-code symptoms of unnecessary complexity. In the end, we'll dive into useful heuristics, mental models, and thought filters to refine our approach to project complexity, to find that sweet spot more consistently.
