"Figma is where I mess around. I throw shapes around. I try a layout in ten seconds that would take me ten minutes in code. I move things on a canvas and look at them. That is the whole point of the tool for me now."
"When I want fidelity and interaction, I work in the IDE with an agent alongside me. Cursor, Claude Code in the terminal next to my editor, whatever. This is where ideas stop being pictures and start being things."
"The reason I stay in the IDE and not in pure agent mode is that I want to mix the two. Sometimes the agent is faster. Sometimes I am."
The approach to work is flexible, relying on the most suitable tool for the task at hand. Figma is used for quick sketches and layout experimentation, while the IDE is preferred for high-fidelity interactions. Figma allows for rapid prototyping, but the IDE provides a more tangible experience with real-time feedback. The combination of manual input and agent assistance in the IDE enhances productivity, allowing for a seamless workflow between different modes of creation.
