About
Online community for IT professionals worldwide — live, technical, and human in equal measure.
Origin
In 2017, Zaporizhzhia had a thriving IT meetup — Zengineers.Community.
Weekly Thursday gatherings, two speakers, live conversation.
After COVID and the full-scale invasion in 2022, the community ceased to exist.
People scattered across the world. Connections broke.
This project is the answer to that void.
What we do
Every Friday at 19:00 London / 21:00 Kyiv — live stream ~40 min on YouTube @zloyleva.
Topics alternate between technical and human — both are equally valued.
| Technical | Human |
|---|---|
| Changelog / RFC / TC39 | Career stories |
| Live coding | Relocation & adaptation |
| Conference reviews | Burnout & recovery |
| Code review | Job search abroad |
| Interview prep | — |
