You know those morning balcony chats before we dive into work? ☕ Well, just a few days ago, we realized our team has colleagues from all over Macedonia but no one from Kumanovo. 🤔 And guess what? That bug has been fixed! 🐞✅ Meet Sara Petreska, our newest QA Automation Engineer, coming straight from Kumanovo! 🎯 We’re sure she’ll be squashing bugs, sharing laughs, and making this team even better. 🤗 Welcome aboard Sara! ❤️ May your logs be clear and your tests run without fear! 🚀 🚀

2025 официјално отворена...🚀 Јануарски честа да ја отвори годината ја имаше Dule Pop-Andov од CodeChem Inc на тема 'Automating the Repetitive with Source Generators'. Многу код, многу дискусија и позитивна енергија..помина подолго време од последната презентација на генератори на код во заедницата. 🙂 Благодарност до сите присустни и до логистичката поддршка на екипата од 42.mk - Base42, full house е секогаш празник за очи и за дружба. 🍻 Се гледаме следно стандард последната среда од месецов, овојпат на сцената со Marjan Nikolovski од EMIT KNOWLEDGE, повеќе детали и информации ќе бидат споделени за брзо.

𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱-𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝗺 2025! 🏆 What started as a crazy 48-hour challenge turned into something we’re incredibly proud of. Matej Kardula, Nikola Kostovski, Petar Atanasovski, Gjorgi Nechovski and I set out to create a hybrid-casual mobile game that’s both addictive and strategic—and Overboiled was born! It’s a fast-paced, bubble-popping arcade game with a twist: bubbles rise in boiling liquid, and you have to pop them, or match them by colors on the surface before they overflow. But timing is everything—combo chains, power-ups, and increasing heat turn a simple mechanic into a thrilling balancing act. Add in fun skins, fun liquids, and an in-game shop, and you’ve got a game that’s easy to pick up but tough to master! We built everything from scratch, and seeing it take home Best Hybrid-Casual Game was an incredible moment for our team. Huge thanks to my amazing teammates for the creativity, energy, and passion that made this possible! 🎉 Also, big shoutout to Macedonian Games Industry for the amazing organization of GGJ Skopje 2025. There were 25 awesome games made in these 48 hour, each one showcasing incredible creativity, passion, and teamwork. It was amazing to see so many unique ideas come to life in such a short time. Huge respect to all the teams who participated—you made GGJ Skopje 2025 an unforgettable experience!

Things are getting interesting! 🎉 Andrej Acevski got tired of hunting for the perfect project management tool… so he just built one himself. 💪 🤩 Meet Kaneo, an open-source, self-hostable tool made by developers, for developers (because who knows our struggles better than us? 😅). Easy to set up, beautiful to use, and fully in your control. 💫 Keep an 👁️ out, Andrej is cooking up something awesome! 🚀❤️

Nikola Dinevski is back with some great insights on parallel document rendering in AWS! 🔍 In his latest blog post, he compares EC2, EKS, and Lambda on performance, scalability, and cost. If you’re looking to optimize your document rendering game, you’ll want to check this out! 🙌 Nikola breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly of each setup—from VMs to Kubernetes to FaaS—so you can pick what works best for you. Plus, he’s always down to share his knowledge! 🫶 Read the blog post using the link below 🔗 👇 https://lnkd.in/d6nEF4ZF
