ChatGPT in Coding: Insights and Challenges
I started working as a software engineer in April. For years, I had done nothing related to software. As an electronics engineer, software was something on the side that helped me as much as it needed to—or if we think of it as a language, it was something I had just enough of to express…

The Illusion of Autumn
It paints the world in colors, sets the horizon on fire, and makes us believe we’ve reached the peak of beauty.At least, that’s what we think.But in truth, it’s the slowest and most elegant funeral on earth. The trees aren’t blooming, the leaves aren’t shining.They are slowly fading, disappearing.Just like people.Yet unlike our sorrow, death…

Why Cleaning is a Trap: The Real Cost of Consumerism
There’s probably no activity I hate more than cleaning.A completely useless waste of time. We already spend our days at work, then sacrifice sleep and health to carve out a bit of free time—and filling that time with cleaning feels like the ultimate human helplessness.

Navigating Life’s Silence: My Journey of Rediscovery
Stuck, not silent I haven’t been able to write for a while. Yes — it’s not that I’m not writing, it’s that I can’t write. When I look back at my old pieces, it feels like someone else wrote them. How did I find that strength, that inspiration, that will to write back then? Usually…

Career
Envying the Determined When I see people who are steady and know exactly what they’re doing, I sometimes envy them. They move forward with persistence and determination, fully embracing their path, without letting other things distract them. It’s as if what they’re doing is the absolute right thing—the only path worth following. But when I…

Lawn Mover
I shut down my computer, packed my bag, and, as usual, I was the last one to leave work. As I walked toward the car, something caught my eye: the lawn mower. Quietly and patiently, it was mowing the grass, inch by inch. The office had closed, everyone was gone, but it was still working.…

35 Years after my Birth
I wrote this last year and want to share it as it is even if it is 35 years after my birth. How beautiful were the days when we had no responsibilities. All those moments spent staring at our hands, the days we played with our feet. Our only concern was food. Sounds used to…
