Spotify – 2021 Wrapped!

It is one of my favorite times of the year when the #SpotifyWrapped was released! And here is the new list for 2021. Update: It seems the originally embedded content is not living. This is the biggest problem of embedded content across the web. I’m keeping it as a reminder… for embed can get sucks

We need a better OS

I think we need a better operating system. I’ve been using various operating systems in the last decade and still feeling there is a gap in the consumer operating system.

naming things is hard, product things are even harder

It’s been a quite long week for me. I wanted to launch my new product at the beginning of the week but it took more than I expected. (Of course, it’s the holiday season, and getting an email response from stakeholders can take longer. )

Sending HAProxy logs to Graylog

I just finished the setup of a brand new Graylog 3 server and wanted to share my configuration for sending HAProxy logs. I’m not digging into the server setup. It’s super simple; you can find out docker-compose configuration on the official docs. https://docs.graylog.org/en/3.0/pages/installation/docker.html

NYT Stats: Ramadan 2019

As a challenging part of working at the NefisYemekTarifleri.com, first three days Ramadan is the busiest time for us. We get max requests during that period. So, I just wanted to highlight some stats for taking note to myself and sharing some stats about WordPress at scale.
