Some brilliant people invented photoshop

It was a good product but expensive

Some asshole coke head CEO decided to make it more expensive and worse.

Fuck adobe.

And they bought Macromedia’s suite and destroyed it.

I once built a website preloader that was so large that I made a pre-preloader for it. Good times indeed.

A flash preloader was my first real tech job! As I recall, they stiffed my last paycheck and went under later.

But it was incredibly fun and I made connections that steered my career to a new direction for the next decade.

Awesome, what’s keeping you busy these days? (If this is an account where it’s OK to share that on)

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed, the wildest of wests.

Fireworks for me. I miss that whole suite though.

Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while and that makes me a little bit sad.
