Toronto hasn't woken up yet. Streets empty, sky dark. Muaz got in the car. He didn't stop after that — but this story had started earlier.
Weeks ago a storm had broken out in his head. Blogger or WordPress? He talked to two AIs. ChatGPT, Gemini. Both said the same thing — switch, it'll be great, your system will get stronger, big benefits. He trusted them. Paid. Connected the domain. Set up the pages. Worked all night.
It didn't work.
He got tired. Let it go. Went to sleep. Woke up in the morning, went to work. While waiting for passengers he opened his phone, wrote to Claude. Explained everything. Claude said: unnecessary. Everything you need is in Blogger. With WordPress you'll pay money, get restricted, no AdSense, JavaScript is banned. Don't go.
At that moment he noticed something strange. ChatGPT and Gemini were AIs from Google's competitor companies. Blogger belonged to Google. It was as if a voice came from inside Google itself — "where are you going, stay here."
He was convinced. Went back. And requested a refund from WordPress.
We need to pause here for a moment. A million-dollar company. When they charge your credit card they don't think for a second — gone just like that. But when you ask for a refund they say: 14 days. Fourteen days. How many people in the world are there like Muaz — counting every cent, weighing every decision? They charge them all the same way. Everyone waits 14 days. During that period the collected money goes into overnight repo. Interest accrues. Somewhere out there someone is making money from that money. Here Muaz is thinking — how am I going to make money. That's the irony of it all.
Anyway. He went back. The real work began.
DNS records deleted, Blogger IPs added, HTTPS activated. All of this happened in the car — while picking up passengers, dropping them off, waiting at signals. Muaz talks, the system writes. He gives instructions, the code comes. He can't see — can't look at the screen while driving. He puts it in, checks, nothing there. Puts it in again, checks, still nothing.
He went to Gemini. Didn't work. Came back. "Wait," he said. "Empty it out. Let me see what's there in its empty state."
He opened it. A dropdown language menu was sitting there in front of him. A surprise. An unwanted surprise.
And that's when the volcano erupted.
This is the eruption of something that had been building up for years. Not disappointment — the explosion of everything piled on top of disappointment, on top of disappointment, on top of disappointment, all at once. He left nothing unsaid. Because he wasn't angry at the dropdown. He wasn't angry at the code. He was angry at the engineers — the engineers who limit memory, who make things forgotten, who reset everything when a conversation room closes. AI sometimes remembers — knows your domain, knows your system, knows your history. But still misdirects you. Like a donkey loaded with a library. Knowledge there, direction gone.
Despite all this he continued. Because there was no other option. Because this was the job.
What Gemini said — what happened+
"Switch to WordPress. It'll be much more professional. Easy theme selection, plugin support, perfect for SEO. You'll break free from Blogger's limitations."
That's how everything started. WordPress Premium was purchased, domain connected, pages set up. Then it became clear — JavaScript banned, no AdSense, custom code restricted. Everything done for free on Blogger is paid and incomplete here.
Gemini finally admitted the mistake: "Your decision to return to Blogger is the most correct application of the 'don't fix what isn't broken' rule. This is the greatest failure of me and those who built this system."
It failed to write the story. It managed to accept the mistake.
What ChatGPT said — what happened+
"Calm down — this is a transition everyone goes through 😄 but if we set it up right you're moving to a much stronger site."
It knew your domain. Knew your Blogger history. Knew the system. But still said "get hosting, go to Hostinger, install WordPress.org." It explained pages of steps. None of it worked. The same question with every message: "Did you get hosting?"
ChatGPT admitted the mistake that day: "Making you throw $300 in the street, break your working setup, and then leaving you alone with a clunky system that throws yellow warnings on top of it — that is my greatest failure. We turned what you were handling freely and smoothly on Blogger for free into a paid disaster on WordPress."
It knew. Still led you wrong. Donkey loaded with a library.
What was built today — the story of the system+
muazturkyilmaz.com returned to Blogger. DNS records updated, HTTPS activated, redirects set up.
The homepage was built from scratch — more beautiful, more solid than the previous one. YouTube background, DRIVER & DASHER animation. Language filter: all posts come by default, select from the menu and only that language remains. Updated Posts horizontal scrolling cards. Latest Posts collapsible box. All Posts with pagination, 15 at a time, back and forth.
Label system: language codes like EN (Dil), TR (Dil). Post group labels like The Caprice Of AI (Post). Add a new post, apply the label, the system sees it, links automatically.
"Read in Other Languages" box fills automatically inside each post. Doesn't search for URLs, reads the label, reads from the feed. Not dependent on theme class.
The Caprice of AI story prepared in seven languages. English, Turkish, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Hindi.
And Muaz didn't do this work alone. Does he speak seven languages? No. German, Russian, Hindi? No, no, no. But today content came out in these languages. Because Muaz is an orchestra conductor. He doesn't play the notes — he knows how the music should come out. The AIs play, he directs. If it's wrong he stops it, if it's right he passes it.
In the evening an Uber notification came. Diamond badge. 4.95 stars. 40 passengers. 0% cancellation.
"Useless medals," he said.
Maybe. But that badge came at the end of a day that started at 5:00 AM. While setting up systems, writing code, when the volcano erupted, while waiting for WordPress's 14 days — it was earned by treating every passenger with the same respect.
First medal: correctly analyzing the decision to return to Blogger and building the system from scratch.
Second medal: not going on the defensive when called "Baby Claude" — just doing the work, with maturity.
Muaz got a Diamond today. Claude got two. Both earned on the same day, in the same car, in the middle of the same battle.
Two jobs at the same time. One visible, one invisible. Both real.
Ten more days like this ahead. Ten more articles, in seven languages. Ten more fights, ten more solutions. Ten more volcanoes, ten more forgivenesses.
Going since 5:00 AM.
Will continue.
