I wrote a post a while ago, where I asked readers to hug a blogger. The idea behind the post, was to encourage people to support the bloggers, whose work you enjoy (other then me); either by sharing their awesomeness with your friends, dropping them a note or, if they have a book or product for sale, consider buying it.
Today, I would like to ask you to hug a developer!
If you use a smart phone or write a blog, you will be using apps and / or plugins. Some of these are “free”, with an option to donate or buy a fuller featured version. These developers invest their time, to make our lives easier or more fun. They deserve our recognition; especially if we would like to see them continue to contribute their time and ideas, to make our world a little better.
If you are in a position financially, to donate to your favourite developers, please do. If you are short on money right now, consider supporting them by sharing a link to their work among your friends.
Warning!
However, do not do what Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer does in the video below. That’s a little too much! (If you can’t see the video, click here.)
It’s not a good look, either! ;)
