How to build a newthing
“Creators should focus on creating a lot of work and publishing it. Don't wait for perfection because you can't predict what will be successful. Just put your work out there and move on to the next project.” - Jack Conte at SXSW
The thing beneath the thing is the process.
The process of humans coming together.
Sharing ideas outside of the cookie-cutter norm.
And making something beautiful.
Because that’s what humans do.
The process is the point.
Because it is only through the process
that a squishy little grey blob
can become
something sublime.
