@Ike_Saul re: your billionaires article, I was hoping you would take the discussion further.

The Q is not really "should billionaires not exist?"; it's more or fewer, i.e., should we reduce inequality.

I also wonder "what if there was a policy of max wealth= $10B?".

[Matt Dailey @reactiverobot]

Today, we're announcing @ref_tools open beta. Ref is your team’s shared space to decide what agents build before any code gets written.

We’ve raised $4M from @villageglobal, @Daybreak_Fund, @tmrohan, @RitualVC, @tonigemayel @barrald @wesmckinn and @bentossell.

Every engineering team is battling the same problem. I call it Velocity Sickness. It's the disconcerting feeling that you're moving fast but not having the impact you expect. It's affecting individuals, teams and especially leaders.

It looks like:
- Too many PRs to merge.
- Brainfry and burnout.
- Engineers running in different directions.
- Critical decisions being made by agents.

The last one is the most dangerous.

At its core, software engineering is about two things: (1) what decisions matter for my system? and (2) making those decisions. When you let agents make critical decisions, you lose ownership of your system and product.

You solve these problems with Ref.

@NotionStatus @NotionHQ I think you have an outage right now... I can't visit any https://t.co/Xz7gipTL37 pages.

Today at Config, we introduced new materials and tools, powered by AI but built for creative control. Code Layers. Motion. Shaders. Weave Tools. Generative plugins. Together, they form a richer canvas where teams can explore, refine, and build side by side.

At Figma, we believe technology exists to expand imagination and stretch the limits of what we can make together. Our hope is that these new products help you imagine and create things you couldn’t before.

[Dylan Field @zoink]

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.

[Josh Clemm @joshclemm]

I'm excited to share that I joined @figma as VP of Engineering for our AI products.

Two weeks in, I can confirm: design is not dead. It's more alive and important than ever.

That's what makes Figma such a special place to build. I've been really impressed by the talent here and the culture of craft and excellence.

I'm looking forward to working with @kris_rasmussen, @loredanacrisan, @yuhkiyam, @zoink and others who are building the future of design.

And we're hiring. We're looking for folks excited to push the frontier of design-forward model training, evals, multimodal, agents, and AI products.

[Wayne @linwayne]

@leyeConnect Did you mean to say “Canvas” to code? 😅

[Loredana Crisan @loredanacrisan]

There’s a new player on the canvas, ready to take requests. Prompt from any layer, explore directions in parallel, edit by hand while it generates, lean on your design system as ground truth.

Use responsibly: AI can do wonders setting up components and sketching options but it can’t replace your point of view.

[Dylan Field @zoink]

Quick update: not dead.

$FIG Q1 results:

→ 46% YoY revenue growth, accelerating for the 2nd straight quarter
→ Net Dollar Retention Rate increased to 139%, our highest rate in over two years
→ Raising 2026 revenue guidance for the year

Design matters more than ever.

[Dylan Field @zoink]

An agent that's fluent in Figma and purpose-built for design. On the canvas, where your team works and design context lives... rolling out in beta starting today!

[Wayne @linwayne]

@bradmenezes Go Brad and team! Congrats on the launch. We need better solutions in this space and you are the team to crack it.

[Brad Menezes @bradmenezes]

Introducing Superblocks 2.0: AI-generated enterprise apps – finally under IT control.

Vibe-coded apps just became the #1 attack vector in the enterprise.

Business teams are building on production data, while IT has zero visibility.

No reviews. No audits. No permissions. No control.

AI hackers are about to get 100x better. Anthropic proved it with Mythos.

Superblocks 2.0 is the only platform to take back control:

> Business teams build AI-powered apps with permissions baked in.
> IT and Security can audit everything and lock down anything, instantly.
> Engineering sets the standards. Every app follows them.

Instacart, SoFi, and LinkedIn run Superblocks in production today.

And larger organizations we can't yet name are too:

A Fortune 500 just shut down 2,500 Replit users to standardize on Superblocks, running the platform air-gapped in their AWS environment.

A 150,000-employee global services firm replaced Lovable with Superblocks to unlock AI-built apps on restricted internal systems.

Every IT leader we’ve demoed to using Replit, Lovable or v0 asked for early access.

Today we open access to the world.

The genie is out of the bottle on employee vibe coding.

Let it run wild, or take back control – https://t.co/8TEolq14Z5

Excited that Extended Collections for @figma has finally hit the stage. Multi-brand design systems are now a breeze. Stay tuned for the launch next month!

We've been using it internally for the last few months to make it easy peasy to switch between our brands.

[Georgia Rust @georgiarust3]

At Schema by @Figma, we announced the Design Systems Remodel — a foundational rewrite of Figma’s design systems architecture that makes editing in large files up to 60% faster.

[Wayne @linwayne]

@InstacartHelp DM’ed you. Hope to get a response

[Wayne @linwayne]

@Instacart @InstacartHelp is it your intention to steal customers’ money by auto-renewing without telling them?

I was charged $99 for IC+ without being informed.

And support said no refund because I msged 6 days later when the BS policy is within 5 days for a 1-year sub.

Thrilled to announce our reimagined Reconciliation product at Transfer!

[Modern Treasury @ModernTreasury]

"Each aspect of the product we’ve shown today has been carefully designed to enable your team to achieve the same $0 variance and 100% reconciled result every day."
