> Tech conversations between two experienced developers from the 90s software world. 'Dinozorlarla Kafa Ütüleme' — Ear-Bending with Dinosaurs — a playful Turkish expression for two old-schoolers riffing on tech at length.
Together with Burak Selim Şenyurt we tackled the question 'Can we still be educated?' — a conversation on learning in the age of bite-sized knowledge, the trap of abstractions, and Forster's 'The Machine Stops' as a metaphor.
AI writes the code — but can we sleep peacefully? From production-wiping agents to prompt injection experiments, custom review chains to Anthropic Mythos, a conversation on the code quality crisis.
Time to face the real cost of AI: token limits, pricing shifts on Copilot and Claude, vendor lock-in, cognitive debt, and Karpathy's LLM Wiki approach — the free lunch era is over.
The invisible nightmare of the modern developer: Dependency Hell! 3.1 million packages on NPM, the Axios attack, the absurdity of the 'everything' package, the Shai-Hulud worm, and the Notepad++ risk — welcome to package hell.
Humanity is going back to the Moon after 54 years! Artemis 2, SpaceX vs Boeing, data centers in space, mission critical programming, and the debate: is space tech more important than AI?
We found the story I mentioned in Episode 15 but neither of us could name: E. M. Forster's The Machine Stops, written in 1909. It is 117 years old, yet reading it today still sends shivers down your spine.
