A life-changing tip someone told me: when copying a repeated shape (like the grid you made), after holding alt/option + shift to create your first duplicate - press command/control D, and it will repeat that step again with the same spacing between each time!
Can be done as many times you’d like! 🤯

You come. You go. You come. You go.
If you’re busy working, go work. If you’re having issues, go have issues. What’s worse is the constant teasing of your presence. Good or bad. We need you. You are our buddy. Keep us informed. We obviously want to know about your status Nathaniel.
