Eight years ago, Gennady Tatarkin worked in a furniture factory and built a completely understandable professional life. Work, plans, the usual rhythm — everything changed in an instant after a work injury, when his hand had to be amputated. There were months of adaptation ahead, painful getting used to the new reality, dozens of interviews and rejections, after which, even if no one said it out loud, one thing was clear: employers did not believe that a person with a prosthesis would be able to work on an equal footing with others. At that time, it seemed that along with his hand, he lost his usual future. But today, Gennady works in the EPAM archival department, digitizes documents, travels from Bila Tserkva to the Kyiv office, undergoes corporate training on the use of AI, and is convinced: there is no business that he could not master if he allowed himself to try. Gennady told dev.ua how he survived the loss of his hand, why employers often create barriers for people with disabilities, and how, step by step, he regained simple things that once seemed impossible — from cooking potatoes according to his own recipe to tying shoelaces with one hand.

The stumbling block and the main factor that hindered the mass adoption of cryptocurrency technologies has always been their complexity. And for a long time, the only proposed solution was “learn”, “become an expert”, until wallets and services began to move in the opposite direction: not to wait for the user to gain experience and responsibility, but to go to him himself - with a convenient service that solves the basic difficulties. Someone for this went towards centralization, someone stubbornly continued to work purely within the framework of a pure blockchain . But both approaches came across one circumstance: the user still had to understand what he was doing. But now we live in a new era. AI has changed the approach: it does not require the user to understand the inner workings, but simply does the job — or suggests how to do it better. To do this, it does not need a human expert, but only public data and permission to act. Let's analyze how AI simplifies crypto today - using real examples from 2025–2026.

Leaving a comfortable studio to realize your own dream is a step that only a few dare to take. But what awaits a developer when a stable salary and a producer with deadlines disappear? Three Ukrainian solo developers honestly told dev.ua about their experience: from the real size of the financial cushion and free software to burnout, the search for publishers and the golden rule of game development - "plan for three months, do for a year."
