Anna Golovko, Product Design:

“Awesome competition, atmosphere, and new experience! I'm glad I took the opportunity to participate in this year's Dev Challenge and test my skills. Also, it is incredible that there was an option to come offline, the atmosphere decides a lot, and another important bonus is the expansion of my professional acquaintances. It was fascinating to test my strength and do a large amount of work in 8 hours. It's an interesting experience. During the finals, there is maximum focus on the task and you are willing to move heaven and earth! ”
