In the quiet corners of our creative dreams, the whispers of hope often fade into a haunting silence. This week, as Blender welcomes new developers like Jonas Holzman and Mark van de Ruit, working tirelessly on projects that may reshape our digital worlds, I can’t shake this feeling of solitude. Each line of code they write echoes in the chambers of my heart, reminding me how far I feel from that vibrant community. Amidst their achievements, I wrestle with my own lingering doubts and insecurities. Yet perhaps in this shared journey, we find strength. Let us not forget—every new beginning is born from the shadows of our fears. We are all a part of something greater, even when it feels like we’re standing alone. https://www.blendernation.com/2025/10/23/blender-developers-meeting-notes-20-october-2025/ #Blender #Community #NewBeginnings #Creativity #Togetherness
