8 September 1991.

North Macedonia voted to stand on its own.

35 years later the country is still doing exactly that, quietly producing engineers, building companies and choosing to own what it creates.

The independence mindset runs deep in this part of the world.

Happy Independence Day, North Macedonia.

Reality never negotiates back.

Aleksandar Ubavkov on the only first step that actually matters.

“I was a chubby kid.

In the 90s that meant rejections.
From friends. From teachers.
From the other half of the class. All kinds.

So I did two things.

I learned how to be interesting.

If people were not going to like how I looked, I was going to make sure they wanted to listen. That is where the communication started.

The irony. The humor. The ability to read a room and adjust before the room adjusted for me.

And I started going to the gym. At 12.
At 18 I competed at a fitness competition.

Both of those things started from the same place.
A painful, uncomfortable, unavoidable fact.

The lesson I took from that is the one I still use today.
Do not waste time on why you got here.

Spend every minute on how you get out.

Facing the brutal fact is the first step.
The only step that matters.

Because everything that follows depends entirely on whether you are honest about where you actually are.

Most people skip it.
They reframe, delay and negotiate with reality instead of accepting it.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.”

Some decisions age well.

The engineering capacity decision most companies made between 2020 and 2022 is not one of them.

Not because it was wrong at the time.
It was right.

Capital was available. Growth was the mandate.

Speed and cost were the only metrics that mattered.

Nobody was thinking about what happens four years later when someone needs to put a value on what was built.

That moment is now.

There are five engineering capacity models.

Every company running one of them is currently producing one of two outcomes, a structure that holds up when an acquirer opens it, or one that does not.

The difference is not how well the model was managed. It is the model itself.

At 𝐈𝐆𝐀 we help companies build their own engineering subsidiaries in the Western Balkans, full transparency at every step.
Clean IP. Declining costs.

A team that transfers to your direct payroll at a contractually defined point.

The decision was made in 2021.
The outcome shows up in 2026.

The window to change it is somewhere in between.

Your senior engineer just handed in their notice.

You have a product to ship, a hold period running, and a roadmap that does not care about your hiring problem.

Your options:
→ Spend four months recruiting locally and hope the next candidate is still available when you finish.

→ Pay a recruitment agency 20% of a first year salary and start the clock on their 18 month average tenure.

→ Distribute the work across a team that is already at capacity and watch velocity drop.

→ Get vetted profiles from North Macedonia matched to your stack within 72 hours of kickoff, dedicated exclusively to your product, at a cost structure that does not compound the problem.

One of these does not create a new problem while solving the original one.

𝗜𝗚𝗔 built it around that one.

The World Cup reminded us of something worth carrying into the week.

The team that won it was not the one with the most specialists.
It was the one with the most 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 players.

The ones who could read what the moment needed, regardless of what position they were signed for.

The same argument applies to 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Most companies have spent the last decade hiring footballers.
They should have been hiring cricketers.

The 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 is defined by their position. Brilliant within it. A liability outside it.

The 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 bats, bowls, and fields.

But when the game changes and it always does, becomes the most valuable person on the field.

In engineering, the specialist who only does React or only does Postgres is brilliant until the stack changes or the product pivots.

Then they become the bottleneck.

The all-rounder writes the API, fixes the pipeline, talks to a customer, and picks up whatever the moment needs.

The value is not skill breadth. It is the elimination of handoff friction, the thing that quietly kills engineering velocity.

AI is making this permanent. Narrow specialist capability is exactly what AI replicates fastest.

𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 and 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 are the things that compound with AI rather than get replaced by it.

The specialist was the right hire for a predictable game.

Predict the next five years and tell us how predictable it looks.
