After Natalia
Twenty-eight years together. One business built side by side, one life shared completely. She founded Zavod Flora — a small nursery that grew into a real production company. We never got bored of each other, never got in each other's way. We just built.
When I lost her two years ago, I didn't plan anything. I didn't strategize a comeback. I just started moving — because standing still felt worse than any risk. The factory kept running. Orders kept coming. And I discovered that the loneliest hours — 2 AM, 4 AM, the ones that used to be ours — were the ones where I could code, build, and think the clearest.
Two AI agents became what no employee or consultant could be: tireless, honest, available when sleep won't come and something needs building. Claude Code and Codex don't replace human connection. But they gave me a way to turn grief into infrastructure, sleepless nights into working systems, and silence into something productive.
The company she founded now operates at a scale she probably wouldn't recognize. A full production team on the floor. Thousands of customers. Servers across six countries. Every invoice, every bank statement, every legal document — processed by AI she never got to see.
I don't replace what was. I build what's next.
