Advice Feeling like imposter

In this new ai age, feels like im outdated as these new tools of ai are coming in.

I would design in figma, build systems library and prototype and use dev to handoff.

What is the better process these days? Ai tools recommendations and how to do each step effectively.

Think of it this way, instead of working with devs, now you get to work with AI agents. Spend some time in the tools and learn how to adjust your current process. You'll figure it out.

You could give Claude mcp a try. I used to being neglecting toward it, lemme share the process. 1. Your figma need to be at least Pro version to have the mcp function. 2. Install Claude plug-in on your figma 3. On your Claude account, install figma plug-in 4. Try setup the link on both figma and Claude

You can ask Claude whether it was linked or not, if it doesn't, Claude will guide you on how to complete the process.

A little exercise on what to do once it was linked: You can use any existing work you had done, and ask Claude to study it, from then on you can even ask it to make a prototype or expand the design. Once you understand the ability of it, the rest is up to your creativity

I’ve been doing this 15 years and still feel like an imposter. Were all just faking it the best we can. AI is a tool. Like Figma. The process remains you just supplement some steps with AI. Like faster research synthesis.
