We're looking for people who have a product/service that's a challenge to explain quickly or simply, so anyone would get it. And it's all human-made.
We have a couple of slots for #design or #animation work in August, so hit me up if that sounds like something you might need!
Sorry if this is too ads-y, but I would

I almost cancelled my Adobe subscription last year - then realised I couldn't.
Software like Adobe's isn't just selling tools, it's locking you in. The real cost isn't the subscription. It's that your work - effects, libraries, templates built over years - lives in proprietary formats. Cancel, and you lose access to your own assets.
It's not about price. It's about owning the way you work.

The EU just announced #W and the fact that it's using the AT protocol under the hood is underwhelming at best.
Why the hell would you claim you're building for sovereignty but at the same time use technology developed abroad?

Wrote a blog entry on ToothPaste for Blender - how the idea came about, what I went through to finish it, and why I thought it was needed.

A guy once called me out for being a workaholic. And honestly, I do spend a lot of time working towards my dreams.
