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

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?

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!

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
