- breathe - breathe - ask for help! you've done nothing wrong. one of the core responsibilities of experienced engineers is to help out less experienced engineers - if they don't k…

this is the worst HN comment I've read in over a decade on this website, and holyshit have I read a lot of bad comments here

Some reflections at 31: - you can’t buy self-actualization. The most devastatingly miserable times in me & my friends’ lives have often been when we worked at big corporations doin…

I have no idea how to help but your product looks wonderful and I think I'm going to buy it - I'm sorry you're going through this

Affinity make great products

I remember the buzz when Sketch 2 came out in 2012. Tons of us switched immediately. Whilst I think Sketch has stagnated since then, what it initially offered was a lightweight too…

Yo - I did the Airbnb project linked ^^^ which I believe was the first of this wave of deep learning-powered sketch->UI projects (though standing on the shoulders of decades of R&D…

this is a realllllly good idea.
