It's been fun talking with Karl about this. I'm incredibly inspired by his approach to work - and definitely taking some of these methodologies forward

People think design is about how it looks.

It’s really about a deep and fundamental commitment to replying to your Slacks, Figma comments, Linear comments, emails, hopping on a quick call then doing all that one more time whoops times up see you at the craft factory tomorrow

@GregHuntoon Was lovely chatting with you Greg, lets do it again soon!

[Luke Finch @LC_Finch]

@OryxenDS Figma's own MCP or my good friend @nathanacurtis's Anova plugin are good places to start

Figma make is insane once you've figured out how to get your design system in there.

I spent a crazy amount of time this week getting it working and ran into a few hiccups. I published my adivce here for you all.

Build → Publish → Install → Done

@Iroshandezilva coming soon though I hope

[Luke Finch @LC_Finch]

@Dustin_Kirk I want to be clear here - Most of this was entirely on our system, and not Figma's fault.

The only complaint I have was around the silent build failures, and the Figma team have been very receptive to feedback.

@shallowveneer Really appreciated your time chatting about this amongst other things Hugo ❤️

[Luke Finch @LC_Finch]

This has the foundations for so many potential interesting ways of working – really curious to see where this goes.

I've been tinkering away with a live design <> code, desktop app where you can select any element in the DOM and it takes you straight to the source code.

@NateBaldwinArt Feels almost irrelevant now in the age of AI, we can all just write custom parsers, or have LLMs do the transforms

[Luke Finch @LC_Finch]

@disco_lu Seems like a useful utility class to have design and code talking the lingua-figma

@webexpo @ridd_design @henry_daggett This is my legacy

Just some lovely photos of me from Config this week.

@lichinlin @figma Welcome to the retirement club!

[Luke Finch @LC_Finch]

@negativespaceca Always been a fan of it. Easy to handle in one place and give “freebies” to consuming teams. Reduce refactoring pain.

@disco_lu It screams Telegraph
