Why your first launch might not be enough.

Although design systems promise consistency, most still fail without someone actively enforcing the rules and making teams follow them.

Making changes that actually work instead of optically sounding impressive.

Wait, we have AI now. We don’t have to say no to 1,000 things. We can say yes to all the things — generate them all, simultaneously!!!1

Most design system roles are design-focused, but the biggest value comes from code. Are we building design systems, or just designing them?

I put a post-mortem in your post-mortem.

Software is problem ownership.

Formats over apps.

Clothes have never been cheaper. Same thing is happening with software.

It’s January, and millions of people have made the same resolution: “Eat better.” By February, most will have abandoned it.

Generic software design advice is typically useless for most practical software design problems.

Sometimes there are zero people at the organization who can answer complex questions about how the product works.

The year when AI stopped feeling like just a tool and started to feel more like a mirror.

Figma designer–turned–product manager Nikolas Klein worked on building prototyping tools for seven years. Then AI changed the game.

A simple, repeatable, and meaningful UX metric designed specifically to track the performance of product features.

Inside Figma Make, product managers are pressure-testing assumptions early, building momentum, and rallying teams around something tangible.

Estimates come in various disguises, but when you peek under the trench coat there is always the same old question.

How design and engineering meet, overlap, and translate meaning—and why a shared language is the only way to build real shipping velocity.

Your competitors will eat your lunch while you refactor.

How “Thinking” + “Designing” need to be practiced outside AI.
