So in some cases we look at libraries that customers make and they are one-to-one.

The design components perfectly reflect the code components, so the components in the code base.

In other cases, you're working on the thing that's next in Figma, and that's not yet all built out in code.

And both cases are important.

In the case where you are one-to-one and there's more of that bijection between components and Figma, components in your code base.

You want to define a formal mapping.

So that way you're able to give context via MCP, make it so that developers are easily able to implement a design on the front end.

And Code Connect serves that goal.

We're doing a lot of investment to make it easier to set up because right now it's too much of a pain.

But also trying to get uh further in terms of

How many people can use CodeConnect.

And in terms of where the source of truth lies, I think there's a variety of ways it will probably play out in parallel.

I think that um it's okay if, for example, in some times that code is source of truth, and you'll see us do a lot of work to make it so that you're able to bring your code-based design system into something like fig.

Make or Figma design.

But also if you're wanting to rapidly iterate and be able to express and try out different visual explorations.

And if you think visually, if you are someone who's not necessarily um maximal comfort with code.

I think a visual surface is uh very important as a place to explore.

And I think there are different modes of thinking, and uh it might be the case, I think it's likely the case, that the visual sort of uh metaphor is easier for a wider set of the population to grok than to go into code.

I also think that it's going to be something that

As we move forward in time, with more agents writing more parts of your code base.
