Yann-Edern Gillet adopted his original talk at Granola’s Design Engineering Night into an article: ​“The real Rosetta Stone didn’t solve languages, it overlapped them. Same meaning, carved three times, so people could decode one through the other. Design engineering is the same: we’re constantly trying to express intent twice — once visually, once in code, without losing the meaning in between. When the languages don’t match, the wall gets thick. When they overlap, the wall becomes translucent. And when the overlap is high enough… the wall disappears. It becomes glass. I think that overlap, that shared percentage of language, is the real definition of velocity.”

In the latest episode of Boz to the Future, Meta CTO Andrew ​“Boz” Bosworth sits down with Dylan Field: ​“Boz and Dylan dive deep into the intersection of technology and creativity, from the early days when designers were scarce to today’s collaborative, cloud-based workflows. They talk about the imminent paradigm shift in interfaces and what comes after text prompting. They discuss what stays evergreen despite rapid technological change, and why the pursuit of craft remains fundamentally human.”

Max Woolf ran experiments with image generation models and was really impressed with Nano Banana 2.5 — note that this blog post was published before Google introduced the new Pro version. ​“After running Nano Banana through its paces with my comically complex prompts, I can confirm that thanks to Nano Banana’s robust text encoder, it has such extremely strong prompt adherence that Google has understated how well it works.”

Config is returning to San Francisco on June 23–25, 2026, and early bird tickets are available with a 50% discount ($450 instead of the regular $899) for a limited time.

“For years, India’s design and developer community has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in Figma. Now, with our new hub in Bengaluru, we are excited to meet these builders where they are—and learn firsthand how they’re reimagining what’s next and shaping the future of product development in India.”

A new survey, based on ten in-depth interviews with 340 people, reveals that product designers are facing high stress, burnout, and slow career progression, largely due to chaotic organization, poor management, and unpredictable communication within the tech industry.

Dylan Field on the newest addition to Figma’s product line: ​“Figma has acquired Weavy, a platform that brings generative AI and professional editing tools into the open canvas. As Figma Weave, the company will help build out image, video, animation, motion design, and VFX media generation and editing capability on the Figma platform.”

In A Match Made in Heaven, Weavy’s early investor, Ben Blumenrose from Designer Fund, shared three key features of their product approach that make for a very powerful tool — being model agnostic, exposing process, and working as an aggregator.

I’ve been waiting for this video and kept thinking about it long after watching. To kick off his new series This is taste, Tommy Geoco flew to Kalamazoo, MI, to spend two days with Ridd. His Dive Club interviews show where the puck is going to be for the design industry and have been my most recommended resource for a long time. Tommy did a great job showing the actual person behind the online persona through his environment, family, motivation, and process of building the Inflight and Dive Club. Can’t wait for the future episodes of the series!

Earlier this year, Grammarly acquired collaborative workspace Coda and email app Superhuman, with the CEO from Coda stepping into the role of CEO for Grammarly and the entire company later changing its name to Superhuman. Smith & Diction developed an interactive identity with motion design at its core, while the brand architecture of the new company was evolving every day. The new icon system by Helena Zhang and custom pattern generators made in Figma Make show an incredible attention to detail from this team.
