--><br>You’ll miss the soul when it’s gone - Andy Bell

You’ll miss the soul when it’s gone<br>03 July 2026<br>Pretty grim day of news in the industry today, with Salma Alam-Naylor stepping away from developer relations work permanently, Josh Comeau taking a sabbatical from making courses and GSAP’s once-vibrant forums descending into a ghost town.

The reason your token guzzler "produces" anything that could be described as "good" is because of the years of hard work from people that actually care deeply . The reason what we do was fun was because of the soul that these great people — along with many, many others — brought to the table. They inspired us to better ourselves and make genuinely good stuff. That’s increasingly no longer the case as these people nope out of the industry.

Anyway, enjoy your gruel. It’s all you’re gonna be getting.
