Podcast 292: Goodbye to Flash, we’ll see you in Rust
As Adobe ends its support for Flash, we look back at its impact on gaming, graphics, and the web. And fear not, some kind folks have written a Flash emulator in Rust called Ruffle. Later, we discuss how to lay out your resume in order to get noticed and a Supreme Court case in the US that considers whether scraping data from public sites should be illegal.

…. incorrectly.
PixiJS offers a familiar animation environment for Flash Actionscript developers, but no timeline-based visual authoring (that I know of).
Flash is dead? Tell that to EA that uses it as their front end in pretty much every game and is still hiring actionscript 2 developers as of December 2020.
