"And that's how you yoink" ~Diana
"And that's how you yoink"
~ Diana
Sometimes you just need to take some inspiration from another place and bring it into your world. And sometimes, you just like something so much that you take it and jam it into your world. Now, generally it's cool and good to take inspiration and run with it, but in today's episode, Dev and Diana walk through the best ways to take inspiration, make it your own, and give credit where credit is due.
"Yoink" stuff for fun. But don't plagiarize. Please. Like for realsies. Okay cool.
