What happens when war kicks down the door of your IT office?
Before February 24, 2022, the Ukraine-based ArgoPrep team was building educational content and software for children, parents, and teachers in the United States.
Then the missiles started falling.
Compiling Hope is the true story of how six engineers - and the team around them - built an air raid alert map for themselves in the first days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Within days, that improvised internal tool spread far beyond their office, drawing tens of thousands of concurrent users and forcing a small wartime team to keep a life-critical system online under extreme pressure.
This is not a startup success story.
It is a story about:
writing code under air raid sirens
turning scattered alerts into a live national map
fighting server crashes, CPU overload, and collapsing infrastructure
holding a team together while war tears normal life apart
Part war chronicle, part tech memoir, and part documentary short read, Compiling Hope is a firsthand account of how code became a form of resistance - and how an ordinary IT team ended up building one of Ukraine’s most vital wartime tools.
