Nikolay Ostrovsky

Two decades inside products, finding the waste nobody meant to build and the leverage nobody bothered to name.

The best change removes more code than it adds.

Useful when a product has started dragging its own history around: old decisions, extra layers, fallback flows, code nobody wants to touch. The first move is usually not expansion. It is a precise cut.

That instinct shaped pharmacy ERP across 1,300+ stores, education and creator platforms, Houseviser in Phuket, and nofins.com, where freediving became a calmer, clearer digital product.

Remove weight. Keep the force.

Good product work is often subtraction: less friction for the team, less noise for the user, less waste in the system.

One decision should move three layers.

The strongest edits land in the interface, the architecture, and the business model at the same time.

The right fix leaves less behind.

Not more panels, more toggles, more process. A cleaner shape, with fewer things to maintain forever.

Bring the tangled version. Strip the drag, keep the leverage, and leave with something that moves.
