That article didn't explain why it would be sold for $1. Anyone know?

My condolences to anyone who has to spend enough time on LinkedIn that you would need to kill time there.
I'll show my ignorance here, too, because I thought crystal was a similar flavor. That's actually why I said southern style.
Noted, thanks! What do I call that style then? I thought it was southern style.
My invented dish I call "Scrumpy". You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add ~~southern~~ hot sauce like Frank's, and some Cajun seasoning.
It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I've done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top... Very flexible weeknight meal.
I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.
They mean the start of 2026, right?.... Right?
I think I'd have to see examples to give you a real answer, but I think one thing you see a lot with Canva is pieces built by skilled designers slapped together by someone who might not even be artistic at all.
I'm a designer myself, and I've had many times that clients have tried to do something in Canva, only to get stumped on why they can't get it to look good. It's usually stuff like bad hierarchy (the relative prominence of different elements to each other) and bad composition. You can have the most beautiful stock art pieces in the world, but they won't fix your composition.
Are you talking about Canva? You keep saying canvas so I'm not sure.
Doesn't seem to be working considering this is a post about a major article about it.
People like that really aren't fair, are they? Save some talent for the rest of us. 😅
It's worth noting the dude worked his ass off and had financial support to pay living expenses from his partner:
For four years, he says, he worked an average of ten hours a day, seven days a week, on Stardew Valley. Luckily, he was living with his girlfriend, a graduate student in, appropriately, plant biology, and to help stay afloat he worked part-time as an usher at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre
Not diminishing his accomplishments at all, but I think it's always good to compare effort to effort, resources to resources, rather than simply team size. Most people can't spend 4 years with that pace without investment backing.
A lot of older tech had a way more interesting silhouette. You can see this clearly in how many objects live on in icon form. We still often use handset phones, magnifying glasses, gears, or the infamous floppy disk save icon. I think the staying power of these really comes from how ephemeral and formless digital tech can be.
