Wes Bos from the Syntax podcast and Adam Wathan from Tailwind CSS dig into why every single website AI puts out is purple.

Emil Kowalski shares seven simple ideas you can use to improve your animations: scale your buttons, don’t animate from scale(0), don’t delay subsequent tooltips, choose the right easing, make your animations origin-aware, keep animations fast, and use blur when nothing else works. 

Jake Cooper: ​“When something is labored on, obsessed over, etc, it has no choice but to become of quality, because we give a part of ourselves to it.” This, also: ​“We must choose to build quality things. They will take longer, more work, but in return we will be able to enjoy a life full of rich tastes and experiences.”

Dylan Field shows a couple of projects he built in Figma Make with pre-release Sonnet 4.5. He notes that the new model is very good at planning and was able to precisely transform a Figma design into a functional code with a single prompt.

Designer Advocate Brett McMillin is joined by members of the Figma AI and Anthropic teams to discuss the integration of Claude Sonnet 4.5 into Figma Make. This new model from Anthropic is praised for its significant improvements in design outputs, reasoning through updates, and overall performance.

Dylan joins the TBPN show to chat about evaluating new AI models, the trajectory of Figma Make, and why human judgment and taste still matter even as AI accelerates execution. They also discuss leadership, his views on open-source models and emerging hardware, and MCPs.

Dylan also joined the Latent Space to discuss letting designers build with Figma Make, how Figma can be the context repository for aesthetics in the age of vibe coding, and why design is your only differentiator now.

Figma did an aerial light show in San Francisco on October 2nd.
