TurkeyPerformance is consistent. I have not hit major bugs in two weeks of use.

TurkeyOpenPencil.dev araçını birkaç haftadır gerçek işlerde deniyorum; sadece demo değil. İlk hafta prompt alışkanlığı kazanmakla geçti. Sonrasında özellikle taslak, e-posta yanıtı ve özet işlerinde süre belirgin düştü. Kusursuz değil: uzun metinlerde yapı bozulabiliyor ve kritik noktaları mutlaka kontrol ediyorum. Yine de yoğun bir haftada düşünmeden açtığım araçlardan biri oldu. Net bir iş akışınız varsa OpenPencil.dev kolay oturuyor. Sıfır düzenlemeyle sihir bekliyorsanız hayal kırıklığı olur. Benim için sıkıcı ara adımları kısaltması yeterli sebep.
