Flying Meat’s Gus Mueller on the life of an independent developer in reaction to Apple acquiring Pixelmator:

But today I woke up, and got to work on Acorn. And I’ll do the same tomorrow and the day after that.

I enjoy what I work on and I plan on doing it for many years to come. And I truly value my independence. I love being able to work on what I want, and when I want to.

Incidentally, Nov. 30th was the 20-year anniversary of Acorn ancestor “Tiny Sketch”’s TSDrawWindow implementation file being created: https://mastodon.social/@ccgus/113585410017398378
