The milestone of this year was starting an MBA.

Cool. Congrats all!

AI is not a hype, but enthusiasm for AI is.

Test, validate, ship, iterate. No perfection, no hassle, just quick decisions and prototyping.

In my opinion the current agile mentality should evolve a bit too. It shouldn't become obsolete.

Looking forward to that post-mortem from AWS team. Each incident is a potential learning activity.

Congrats! What's the next level? 😄

Running n8n on my EC2 instance now. Even a small-sized instance seems great for a bunch of automated workflows!

Just installed n8n community edition on my local workstation. I can't wait to experiment it on an EC2 instance.

Always insist on the highest standards. So that, even the smallest details reflect excellence.

I've architected a RAG engine and a local LLM chatbot, then built them all in just a week. I must say architecting part is where you need to pay more attention. Simpler solution architecture comes with less building effort.

Starting a productive morning with some AWS and tech readings. 👌

I've built a CLI-based product backlog manager for product and dev folk. It's a fun project, and I enjoy using it.

Whether climate resilience, disaster recovery, or food security -- access to good data can be the difference between life and death. I’m launching a new 5-part miniseries that focuses on the builders working every day to solve these hard human problems. www.allthingsdistributed.com/2025/07/buil...

Here is the blog post about it: bugrakilic.net/2025/06/28/i...

I often wished for a centralized, lightweight toolbox to handle daily repetitive tasks when I was a network and system engineer years ago. So, better late than never, I built Telcobox.

Published a new blog post after a while.

I'll be continuing my AWS Community journey for another year! It's been 4 years since I stepped into the program, and so far so good. #AWS #AWSCommunityBuilders

I'll be attending Mobilefest tomorrow, and AWS Community Day in the next day. Two Istanbul events in a row can be fun.

Maybe, but I don't expect it in the near future. Besides that, Bluesky does not have an official country representative yet as far as I know. That actually might cause a block in the end.

For non-Turkish fellows: It turns out that Bluesky has become a free speech platform in Turkiye too! Many people have come here in the last few days due to the requested access restrictions for X accounts.

I've been listening to the official AWS podcasts lately. It's one of the rare things that blows off steam. The other one is playing some rapid chess.

I will be attending AWS Community Day Türkiye event 🌩️

On the app side I used Amazon Q Developer to improve and optimize the code, and Claude to define and clarify the assessment questions.

I published a blog post about cloud maturity model with a little bonus inside - a web app to demonstrate cloud readiness.
