Are the teams working on Figma known to be like that? I’ve only heard good things about Figma honestly, but all before the purchase by Adobe.

They're known for consistently shipping significant new features fast, so call it what you want but whatever they do works!
What you really don't want is to work at a ticket factory where every ticket is for a new hack that could be avoided by paying down basic technical debt :)

Heaven forbid developers be asked to demean themselves by doing such things as fixing bugs or shipping features.

#7Figma has been such a cool story, I'm so disappointed that the buyout wasn't blocked. Obviously it's an awesome tool and still getting better, but competition is a good thing and I'd really hoped in 5 years we'd have figma and others pushing adobe to be more innovative and user-friendly.

#8I can guess what's coming next: dev mode will get locked behind the "editor" per user pricing and then it's going to become a pain getting stuff out of Figma.
Also, there's an annoying "bug" in Figma when it tries to implement its own hotkeys: I have various Ctrl/Cmnd key combos swapped and hitting Ctrl causes Figma to de-select whatever I've highlighted so that trying to copy some portion of a colour code or whatever with Ctrl+C causes me to copy nothing but thin air.

#9Broadly this is great to see and I’m sure the team has worked hard on this.
But can’t help but feel like this is a bit of knee jerk reaction to the growth of the much smaller open source product Penpot, that’s received increasing interest and even some funding since the Figma sale was announced.
Penpot has bet on making all the controls match the html/css spec as well as save everything as svg, in short having a big focus on making devs first class stakeholders.
This feels like a late response following Penpot Fest that ran recently and announced many cool dev features.

It's clear you've never experienced significant amounts of tech debt that you aren't allowed to fix because it doesnt Excel chart nicely for the boomers higher up who only see things in terms of "something working on the screen" or not.
And no, I'm not going to rebel by secretly fixing it silently and unappreciatedly while peers pile on hacks and get promoted for things on the screen.
Luckily Figma has a great engineering background as its basis with technical founders, so they can avoid becoming that, but not all companies are like that.
