    As a former figma engineer, let me be the first to say that Evan Wallace is, in fact, a legend. A true 100x-er. There's still parts of the codebase basically no one at Figma really…

    Wow that would be awesome! Shapes/Records are definitely the #1 thing I'm missing from moving over from TypeScript. I started thinking about this a bit and I came up with the concl…

    We've been starting to use Sorbet at Figma and honestly it's been pretty cool! Sorbet is definitely not as good at TypeScript (yet?). It's more verbose, doesn't support things like…

    I see it completely differently. For a lot of the people that get to that level of wealth, it was never about the money. It was always about something else. I don't think the Bezos…

    China does absolutely scare the crap out of both it’s own people and people abroad, but economically it’s clear they’ve done a lot of things right over the last 40 years. The US co…
