Hockey season is officially ON! 🏒

Our HOTOVO - CHL team kicked things off with a close match that went all the way to a shootout. The win slipped away this time, but what a way to start the season!

Well played, guys! 👏 We’re cheering you on from the sidelines and looking forward to the next one. Plenty more games to go!

Hotovo has had its Sweet Sixteen! 🎂

We had a toast, cake, drinks, food... you know how it goes. But this time, we got something extra: a LOT of rain. 🌧️😄

Good thing no one really cared. The DJ booth was saved from the drops, and then the DJ dropped the bangers. Priorities.

What else was there? A pizza oven right in our parking lot.🍕 And yes, the pizza was coming out fresh all evening. Oh, and let's not forget a screen-printing workshop where we got to make our own T-shirts. What a flex, right?

Anyway, over 100 of us came together, got a little wet, ate well, danced and had a really good time.

Here’s to 16 years of Hotovo, and many more to come. 🥂

A school bag, notebooks, pencils, shoes... simple things that every child should be able to start the school year with. 🎒

That’s why we joined KOŠICE IT POMÁHA again this year, together with other companies across Košice.

Thanks to everyone who contributed and to Sociálne Bývanie n.o. for bringing the initiative together.

More than 60 kids could start their school year with the things they need. Good to see the supplies collected and already where they belong. ❤️

Meeting room? Nah. Forest trails to Hresna and Bankov. 🚴‍♂️🌲

As we recently learned in one of our internal sessions, you can't know everything about everything, and burnout is a real issue in this industry. So we did what we love: grabbed a group of Hotovians, hopped on our bikes, and rode into the woods to clear our heads.

No work talks. Just fresh air, forest trails, and a team that knows when it's time to log off and just be together.

Starting to build immediately feels like the faster option.

And sometimes, it is. But those two weeks you save at the beginning might turn into weeks of rework a few months later.

So, when does an audit actually pay off? And when are you better off just getting started?

We break down both approaches in our latest Tech Corner, including costs, timelines, risks, and a practical decision framework.

Three hours. About 1,700 lines of code. One Sunday evening.
That's how long it took Natalia to build a working UI for our wastewater treatment plant simulator. She's a junior dev with a physics background who joined the team in January as an intern, and she had a project meeting two days away.

The simulator runs on ASM1, the Activated Sludge Model No. 1: 13 coupled differential equations describing how bacteria break down pollutants under different oxygen levels. The goal is to predict water quality under varying aeration, so plants stop burning energy and costs they don't need. Testing it meant running scripts by hand, and with a deadline closing in, that was too slow.

So she opened Claude Cowork: two hours planning, one hour building and fixing.
The result: click a tank to see its water quality, compare variables across tanks, change the inputs and rerun.

On Tuesday, our partner company WTR Global watched it run and confirmed the behavior matched their real plant. Next step is to run it on their actual layout instead of the benchmark setup.

Her physics background gave her the math. The AI closed the gap to software. And it showed afterward, in how she talked through bacterial processes with the client.

Today she presented all of this at our AI Engineer session. The takeaway from the room? For internal tools, a fast AI-assisted build just makes sense. No production polish needed, just something that answers the question in front of you.

Soft skills are becoming just as needed as hard skills. Especially in tech, where things seem to change every other day.

AI changes how we work, so expectations are rising. And just when you feel like you’re up to date... you find out there’s already something new to figure out. Exhausting, right?

We talked about all of this during our first session with SUVKO, and one thought really resonated:

𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Delivering on time, or simply delivering itself, isn’t enough when you’re trying to be good at your job. It’s also about knowing what makes sense to do, communicating when something isn’t working, learning as you go, and making sure what you build is actually useful.

And that’s something we’re also trying to work on at Hotovo, both as a team and individually. Our internal learning program is one part of it. Every Friday, one of us prepares a presentation about something new or interesting, or shares a problem they faced and how they solved it. And not only that. We are continuously learning and trying to improve by ourselves.

One of the tasks from the session fit right into that: pick one thing and experiment with it. Not five new tools. Not everything AI-related that came out this week. Just one thing, one use case, and some protected time to try it, see what works and what doesn’t, and build from there.

Keeping up doesn’t mean knowing everything that’s new. Making space to understand one thing properly is already progress.

Thanks to SUVKO and Richard for giving us a few more things to bring into what we’re already practicing. Looking forward to the next session!
