8px's Clipped content #6
đ Your dose of pixel-based stuff
Hi everyone!
Clipped Content is back for another round of âyou may have missed these linksâ.
There were another round of layoffs this week from a large employer, which is just completely nuts given how much profit is being generated.
Are you hiring? Let me know and Iâll try my best to promote it to people. Alternatively, you can post it on the job board for 8px if you wish! If youâre a designer looking for a job, you can register there as well.
Enjoy!
p.s. If you donât remember what this is, itâs a quarterly (apparently) newsletter that I send out which includes a bunch of cool stuff that I find from being online a lot.
