Static types limit your creativity, but they have flaws too
When I first saw this course announced I thought “aw, I don’t need animations almost at all for my job, it’s gonna be the first course from Josh I won’t buy”
But who am I kidding, the early access was announced and here I am tweaking Bézier curves and enjoying the usual top notch content 🥳

Today I’ve opened X after months of inactivity, and the content is very noise but far more relevant :/

I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back.
My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs.
Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."
