For years, the design industry has talked about "design vs code"

And tools (including Figma!) have forced a choice.

But this is a false debate. Code isn't the opposite of design. Code is a material for design.

So we're bringing code to the Figma canvas with Code Layers.

i’m still cooking on plenty of stuff that stays true to the root of okuri

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

[Figma @figma]

Figma Make, now on your local code

In limited beta starting today, you can visually edit and ship changes by connecting Make to your codebase

At Figma, we use our products to design in every way: design layers, prototypes, and now, production code

[Benji Taylor @benjitaylor]

We need to stop talking about product design in absolutes… there are no rules. Everything is made up. Do what makes sense and feels right.

feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems and user interfaces are designed

(also the internet; there should be a protocol that is equally usable by people and agents)

[Shashi (シャシ) @shashpicious_]

we’re not really “designing” right now,
we’re just constantly switching contexts trying to not get left behind

every week there’s a new tool claiming to be the future → paper, pencil, magicpatterns, magicpath… now noon shows up with $44M and changes the narrative again

so instead of going deep, everyone’s just sampling everything

trying prompts here, generating screens there, tweaking in figma, jumping to code, back to AI again

half the industry is already inside code editors
the other half is still figuring out which tool is even worth committing to

fomo is doing more damage than we realise

because depth needs stability
and right now the stack itself is unstable

so no one is mastering anything
everyone is just trying to be early

eventually this will settle and a default will emerge

till then, we’re all just beta testers pretending to have a workflow 👀

designers who understand business become extremely valuable.
designers who only understand aesthetics become replaceable.
