Dude that's rough, $400 is a brutal lesson. I had someone steal my Uber login at a hostel in Mexico and rack up $200 in rides, so yeah I'm all about that travel router life now lol.

That 12-brush set probably saves you hours on shading alone.

DAMN I literally just had this happen to me last week! A client told me they couldn't read the text on my landing page and I was like "what do you mean the contrast is fine" and then they sent me a screenshot in grayscale and I was SHOOK. Green on red is like THE WORST combo for like 5% of guys out there apparently. I immediately went and downloaded two different contrast checkers after that too.

Hang on, they let people actually USE it? That thing isn't roped off like a museum piece? Props to that coffee shop for not treating it like some fragile antique. Man, a real parallel bar setup is something else entirely. Nothing beats the solid feeling of drawing on a real drafting table with a good lamp. A laptop on some flimsy flatpack desk just doesn't have that same soul. It's like they don't even make tools that feel built to last a career anymore.

Honestly I spent like an hour moving a shade from #f5f5f5 to #f4f4f4 and it totally fixed everything. The smallest tweaks are the most annoying but also the best.
