got a ton of great questions during the Dev Mode MCP Server livestream! couldn't answer them all live, so we filmed a lil' Q&A for you - happy vibing ✨ youtu.be/WRTX276UMXg

designers, want the secret to saving time & headaches? partner with your devs early to understand the data! Tom from @figma.com and I share how real-world insights can refine your designs, cut rework, and spark fresh ideas. full convo on YT: figma.bot/3WKQYu1 #datadrivendesign #collaboration

My favorite part of being a Developer Advocate at @figma.com? Hearing how our community really collaborates—where design and engineering meet. 5 designers and I dive into real conversations on design systems, communication, and data. Listen on YouTube: figma.bot/3WAKH40 #design #designtodev

What does “ready for dev” really mean? I teamed up with @claraujiie.bsky.social from @figma.com to explore how different teams define it—and why the right context early on makes all the difference. Catch our full convo on YouTube: figma.bot/3CspJNO

1 major barrier in product development? designers & developers not understanding each other Lauren from @figma.com & I sat down to chat about bridging that gap—aligning values, uniting povs & building trust to craft better products full video on YT: figma.bot/3WuxTMt #collaboration #designdev

design systems are a hot topic and teams often overthink what's needed for an effective DS - you might already have one without realizing it. I chatted with Ana to learn about them and how you can use them effectively in @figma.com You can listen to it on YouTube: figma.bot/3PzVpUo #figma #design

communication is so important in the design process. I sat down with @maldean.bsky.social to talk about challenges we’ve seen and and some strategies we've used to improve async communication using @figma.com You can listen to our full conversation on YouTube: figma.bot/4fNSK4h

new year's resolution for you: speak at #config2025 we gave you two more days to apply - our Call for Speakers closes on Sunday, December 15th at 11:59 PM PT had such a great time working with our speakers last year, and can't wait to see you on stage. figma.bot/ConfigCallFo...

cooked up a sample @figma.com plugin to help you get started with the Annotations API. Check it out along with some other API improvements the team has released this week! Code: github.com/figma/plugin...

lots of use cases for streamlining design prep (esp for annotations that you might always want for certain design elements, components, etc) and making sure accessibility is taken into account as part of the design to code process! What kind of annotations are you always making?

are we in our blue phase yet?

Since we’re still being honest here (treasuring these moments)- I love my job. I love the people I work with. I love the challenge. The honest truth is that real technical strategy takes technical knowledge, confidence to both be stubborn and let go in equal weights, and positive culture change.

Coding isn't just about mastering a language. It's also about cultivating problem-solving skills and a growth mindset. 25+ years into my career, I am still learning and growing every day. It's the only way to advance. #coding #growthmindset

he's literally saying the quiet part out loud here. writers obviously love writing and it's extremely gross that bosses have always exploited that love to deny workers a livable wage and pretend that love for what you do means it isn't labor, or that love can pay the bills. it can't

hi all! I became a Developer Advocate 👨🏻‍💻 recently and would love to follow and hear from others that have been in the role as a Developer Advocates or DevRel. If you're either of the above or a developer that wants to grow their network, say hi!

Here I am on yet another social media channel, this one seems pretty cool! I paint stuff beyond the Bluesky, also known as space. On pottery!

looks like we're finally going to move the web app off of staging.bsky.app and to just bsky.app. not so much because it's ready, but more because we're tired of that url. we'll make staging automatically redirect. should happen by tomorrow, unless something explodes in the process

Lol this is excellent

Maybe it’s a hot take, but people who are experiencing mental illness and homelessness don’t deserve to die. This is disgusting.

Bluesky is doing a speedrun of Internet history. You blink you miss an epoch.
