Like I can find a vibe coded site and like 30% of the last YC class looked vibe coded to me.
I could see the Claude artifacts all over their homepage.
So it kind of breaks your heart.
So the fact that it honestly took this long as a surprise.
So should cursor own that or Figma should own that?
or someone new, they're all gonna converge.
You shouldn't have different tools for design, prototyping, and production.
The agents are just too good.
And to put differently, what I've learned is we all wanna talk to the same agent.
Designers, product people, engineers, DevOps,
In an ideal world, there's this meta agent where we all can collaborate and work together as one company, not us all being on 11 different AIs.
There's a lot of fracturing in AI.
I don't know who will win.
And it's probably mean to say Figma feels behind, but it is how it feels as we record.
Figma is tiptoeing into vibe coding, just like Canva and others.
And there is some disruption risk that the tiptoe is too slow.
I have invested in a small startup called Ally App that sort of bridges it.
It lets you vibe code your existing product and change it.
And I mean, it's early, there's already insane demand, but that's just the first step.
Everyone loves Figma, every designer.
