I’m Onur (Honor).
I build things. Software, websites, automations, weird MIDI instruments.
Currently running Uzunu and YouGrow on the Central Coast of California. Previously: freelancing sound design, motion design, and video editing. Agency projects that touched Walking Dead, Better Call Saul, Microsoft, and others. Before that: touring as an electronic musician and building software and hardware instruments in Istanbul.
Studied chemical engineering, then sound engineering. Still building things.
This is where I write about programming, music, electronics, AI, and whatever else.

Spoiled by Smart Models
Anthropic clarified their rules and the panic was real. But the dependency we built is the actual problem.
