For the past 6 years, I’ve been working on developer education full time, on my online courses + blog. It’s been an incredible privilege to be able to focus on this stuff. ✨ I’m starting to wonder, though, whether the business model I’ve chosen is sustainable. Let me explain… 🧵

Josh's Whimsical Animations course is INCREDIBLE. It contains all of the amazing tricks that he's curated over the years, for you to install onto your own brains. e.g., I went from having no knowledge of the Canvas API to being able to create snazzy animations like these fireworks from scratch.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...
