Aziz Yıldırım ve tüm bu vasat kadronun bir daha içeri girememek üzere gönderilmesi lazım bu takımdan.
This. Building software is one thing. Maintaining it for paying customers is a whole different game.
4 months ago I cloned Airtable for a client in 5 days because they refused to pay Airtable $500/mo
months later, I’m still maintaining it
every two weeks it’s another edge case, a UI tweak, or a "quick 10-minute request." They’ve easily spent 10x more in headaches than the $2,000 they would’ve paid Airtable
just proving that SaaS isn't dead. Cloning isn't enough, if you want it to be same quality as original it becomes a full time job
and at this point isn't it easier to just pay?
Using AI for everything has made me so much faster, but it’s also sent my ADHD into overdrive.
Even when I’m out, I’m chatting with agents on my phone instead of scrolling Reels.
Context switching is a lifestyle now.
Between the PHP mess and Hetzner’s network issues, it’s been quite a day. Fingers crossed we make it through in one piece.

Fenerbahçe maalesef yine kadro planlamasında yolda kaldı. Ne ligde ne de Avrupa’da arkamıza yaslanıp izleyeceğimiz bir kadromuz yok. Hatta geçen sene bariz daha iyiydi. Bu kadar tantanadan sonra ortada geçen sene Kasımpaşa’ya gönderdiğimiz İrfan ile çıkıyorsak söyleyecek hiçbir şey yok.
Glad I'm not the only one complaining about Sentry's heavy resource usage.
At this point, if @sentry won’t rewrite their service in Rust, I will do it myself. I installed it on a 32 GB AWS instance, and it immediately used all the RAM. What?
TIL: ADE stands for Agentic Development Environment. Like herdr etc.
(yes i've learned today)

GPT 6.1 Sol has been incredibly slow at coding lately. Opus 5.5 feels like a lightweight sports car in comparison.
As someone from Istanbul, I’m more impressed by the wide, empty sidewalk than the chargers in the ground.
But the TOGG looks good. 👍
I’d been using just Claude Code for a long time, but recently started using Codex too. Now I have them check each other’s work, and it’s been working really well. They’re good at different things, so one often catches a bug or an edge case the other missed and tells the other to fix it.
I’m not using any special harness or fancy tools for this. I just told them to prompt each other through the CLI and which model and effort to use.
Anthropic should’ve seen this demand coming. Sounds like someone messed up the decision prompt.
But honestly, it’s kinda funny to see even companies this big mess up and react this fast. The gap between me and big tech feels a little smaller now lol.
We didn’t anticipate the demand for the Claude Startups program. In the first 48 hours of the program, we received 21x the number of applications compared to the last 5 months it’s been live.
We let way too many people in this time, so we’ll need to pause on giving out the Team plan and API credits benefits. The other benefits (Startup Stack, Applied AI office hours/events) will remain. If you’ve already claimed the Claude offers, they’ll still remain in your account.
We didn’t properly tune the acceptance criteria at the start, and many non-startups were accepted this time around. We’re fixing this now. We’re sending an email now to everybody who hasn’t claimed their benefits yet, and will re-verify those applications so we can keep Claude Startups for startups 🙏
