"Why would Adobe buy Figma for $20B?"

I have heard most designers I know move over to Figma. However, until I saw this graph I was surprised why Adobe would pay ~12% of its market cap for a purchase. Especially that they built a competitor: Adobe XD.

How competition went:

My 5yo asked, “How big is a wolf?”

So I Google it... Google’s first result is the option (in browser!) to place a realistic wolf in the room with us so we can walk around it and see for ourselves.

Magical. The closest I have felt to a Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer.

@Willstuh @GoCaltrain @SFBART Because their management is bunch of incompetent who do not deserve their hefty paychecks.

One of the main reasons people fall short of their potential is they care more about looking good than getting better.

Excellence is the product of high aspirations and low ego.

Gurus preach from intuition. Scholars teach from evidence.

Gurus promote themselves. Scholars promote ideas.

Gurus defend ideas. Scholars explore ideas.

Gurus make promises. Scholars ask questions.

"The thing I have noticed is when the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right. There's something wrong with the way you are measuring it."
