Figma's not a design tool-it's a Rube Goldberg machine for avoiding code
Briefly

The current state of design is characterized by designers overcomplicating simple tasks, much like constructing Rube Goldberg machines, by relying heavily on tools like Figma instead of learning to code. Despite the push in other technical fields to enhance skill sets, many designers still resist coding, resulting in inefficient processes. This trend not only stifles collaboration with developers but also limits the practicality and functionality of their designs, as ultimately, all designs must be implemented through code.
The design industry is seeing a divide where designers avoid learning to code, opting instead for complex prototyping which complicates their tasks unnecessarily.
Creating elaborate prototypes in Figma resembles building Rube Goldberg machines: intricate and indirect solutions to simple problems that ultimately need coding.
