Need to frame this or put it on a billboard.

most of you posting about figma being dead suck at design

@trq212 The league client still runs on spaghetti code 🥲

@Designownow_ Love it!

[Yesith Thomas @yesith_thomas]

@benjitaylor The design feels so exclusive ngl!

[Yesith Thomas @yesith_thomas]

@per_simmons_ Underrated af!

[Yesith Thomas @yesith_thomas]

A much and long awaited update! Would love to see this work with the MCP too :)

@AliGrids You mean like literally on the floor? :)

@JordanGilroy I sometimes iterate with claude but feel like I need detailing in Figma. This makes that easier. Especially with fixing inconsistencies with color, border radius, etc.

[Yesith Thomas @yesith_thomas]

@tranmautritam Would love to know your surface-bg colors :)

They look too clean 🥲

[Yesith Thomas @yesith_thomas]

@ajaeuh @onlyabidoang Oh shit I did not know that! Thanks!

It's probably a quick death for him 🥲

This vocabulary is a side-effect of domain expertise. Having domain expertise makes you way better at getting what you actually want from AI relative to other people.

So learn how to code, learn design, all the fundamentals. It’s incredibly revelant, and it will stay relevant.

"Engineering, product, and design are all merging into a 'builder' role"

Yeah... I'm not so sure. This feels like an oversimplification and podcast talking point. Reality is a lot more complex.

Even with 1000 "Member of Technical Staff" titles, someone still has to wake up and care 100x more about Product or Design than anyone else. It is their Main Thing™

That's not to say MTS titles are universally bad, but I think they're an example of this 'builder' talking point that's become bastardized.

AI and coding agents have made generating code easy and yet... you're in for a world of pain if non-engineers ship a bunch of slop and don't have great engineers to tame the complexity.

The SF hivemind has a tendency to overfit what works at startups for every company. And to be fair, sometimes this is true! Startups can be a leading indicator for how the industry is changing and often cause disruption.

However, it is going to be incredibly hard to disrupt the extremely human parts of corporate jobs. You really think there's going to be a PM who also does some engineering and design on the side at JPMorgan Chase?

This is true for the simple parts of most jobs, like people wanting to have ownership over something and do good work, move up a career ladder, support their family, get paid well, make an honest living...

And also the hard parts: internal politics, some critical business system that has a bus factor of 1 which has been running for 15 years and isn't documented anywhere because it's that guy's job security. The real world has a lot of this stuff.

It's easy to pontificate about all roles collapsing but it's actually really nice to have a specific person or team who is an expert in one thing that you can work with. I don't expect that to change. Further, I think AI disruption to knowledge work will take decades to play out because it is more fundamental to the human condition (e.g. sociological/organizational) than pure intelligence.

My god this update is just insane. I’ve been on paper for the past week and so and it just feels right + the updates make it worth sticking around for more 🫶

Good morning!

The Pen Tool is live in Paper

Draw shapes, generate SVGs, or vectorize images, and edit the points and paths.

Paper uses real SVGs so exports are 1:1, no surprises.

The new SVG workflow: create → refine → ship.

Try it out! And show us what you draw.
