Andy Bell: “I’m getting fed up of making the rich, richer”:

I’ve forever been obsessed with sharing knowledge. It’s why I’ve blogged so relentlessly over the years because I feel a constant debt to a community that shared so much when I started out.

This!

This resonates so much with me.

I wouldn’t be here without free resources about game development in QuickBASIC in the early 2000’s; I wouldn’t be anywhere I am now without the internet and its magic.

My gratitude is the sole reason I write and share freely and work on free/libre and open source tools: because I believe it’s the right thing to do, because without that, I wouldn’t be here, and I really much want to be here.
