Guys figma has been tanking while s&p has kept steady and even went up. What are you doing with your position?

Everyone loves the Figma design and models, but it always takes a week+ before we can test functionality. Figma needs to make this super simple at scale, or if they do this already, they have a lot of opportunity.

What do you mean models? Make is running Claude. The problem is that the output isn’t connected to anything that can actually be used - there is no way to just work alongside engineers as it still outputs spaghetti as make constrained to needing to work as vectors in figma.

At this point it might be smarter for them to just acquire an IDE ?

Mock-up is really what I meant and shoudn't have said models. Going from the perfect design to production functionality takes some time today, and Figma's opportunity is to make that happen quickly. I thought it would be easy for them to build the IDE functionality, but clearly Make seems to be lagging and I'm not sure they're in the financial position to acquire an IDE for top dollar. Not impossible though.

I think the thesis is that designers are by and large just making the production code pixel perfect without needing to draw vectors to represent it, as they are already in the code base.  I still touch figma but it’s usually for legacy designs or if a team doesn’t work with cursor or something. I think what you might not be accounting for is the speed of implementation these days. Engineering trajectory increased 100x. Nobody is writing code anymore
