Building big ass software systems is hard as fuck and if you had the ability to pull it off like you think you wouldn’t be ranting about it on a blog because you’d be too busy getting shit done.

Acorn 4 – Photoshop for Developers http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2013/05/acorn-4-photoshop-for-developers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=acorn-4-photoshop-for-developers http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2013/05/acorn-4-photoshop-for-developers/#comments Mon, 06 May 2013 14:36:38 +0000 http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=3708 I’m a developer by day and work for a very small company, as such I don’t have money to buy expensive tools. While I know Photoshop is the gold standard for design, the few times I’ve used it I found the interface very confusing and didn’t have the time or the energy to get up to speed. Enter Acorn from Flying Meat Software this tool hits the sweet spot. It has the ability to do a lot of things that I’ll probably never use but more importantly it gives me the ability to handle the smaller image manipulation tasks that come with my everyday job. Here’s video that shows one of the cool features I’d never be able to figure out in Photoshop.
