Relatedly, if you use Figma for work like I do, and Future You wonders how it all got so shitty? This IPO will be the reason why.
Nothing ruins product direction faster than "growth hacking".
Markets do not build. Markets extract.

stock price for Figma on first day of trading.
Apparently, there are still a large number of people who did not get the memo that trading on IPO day is also "trading on stale good news".

Wagner wasn't necessarily a fan of his "Swan Knight" having their own fan-castle.
he had friend with him.

I seem to be attracting a very large number of bot followers who "love life and photography" lately.
which is irksome because there are also photographers on here who love life that I _am_ interested in following back.
they just happen to be human.
Oh for sure. I am fully owned by my possessions at this point.
Anyway, as a fellow self-taught overachiever... *tips-hat*
that's where i've arrived after years of hardware and other physical projects. pretty thrilled that the latest obsession is entirely encompassed by the digital domain, tbh.

This represents almost 5 years of me improving my skills in #Blender3d in the form of Orc characters!
I finish projects, but I have a shipping container that is mostly sedimentary layers of past projects and hobbies from front to back.
too many things to learn in this modern world.
