Welcome to Syntax on this Monday hasty treat. We're going to be talking about finding your

inspiration and stealing design and not necessarily stealing like a thief or some sort of devious person but

stealing in the type of way that the great quote of you know great artists to steal the classic quote that people say but in reality we're gonna be talking all about what you can glean from other people's work to make your work better, to enhance your skills, to enhance your

coding abilities, to enhance your design abilities, all of those things without going

into the realm of plagiarism here. My name is Scott

Toulinsky. I'm a developer from Denver with me as always is West Boss.

Wes, what's up? Yeah, I excited to talk about ripping people off and where it's okay because we often get that.

Like, is it okay to be inspired by somebody's website?

At what point does it go from being inspired and saying oh I love that effect I want to do that in my own

website or oh that was that's a really neat function I also like it's it's also bizarre in open source in general, right?

Like design is one thing, but like actual code where people, we publicly put it available, where do you draw the line on being okay and

needing to credit versus just being fine with being inspired with how things are

done yeah totally it is a fine line between ripping somebody off completely and finding inspiration, but what we're going to be doing here is we're going to be talking about what types of things that are okay to nibble on, what types of things are not okay to steal outright

what we've had stolen and you know what felt bad when it was stolen from us but

also just kind of general rules of them and then we're to get into where you can find your own inspiration and how to catalog and collect inspiration.

But if you're looking for inspiration on fixing issues in your code,

Century.io forts. syntax, give Century and install on your application today

and you will find every bug that happens on your site before your users have to let you know that those bugs are even happening.

You even get a video session replay to see how that bug took place.

You can see the infraction in action.

Ooh, I think essentially should pay me for that one.

Okay, so let's get into it.
