#TBT post of the week
Let us tell you a story
This is a beautiful scrolling story illustrated by &yet. This is a story of a citizen who lives in a walled city with extremely boring food shown off on Foodstagram. They learn of better and more creative options just outside the walls. You wouldn’t want to live this way with food, so why would you with your developer services?
