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.”

Noah Levin, VP of Design at Figma, shows how creative image prompting with the new Nano Banana Pro model can add serious value to your work across all of Figma’s products. I really liked the practicality of examples in this article, from updating a headshot to match the rest of the team to preparing a dark version of the illustration.

Molly suggests using separate color palettes for marketing and product design, as they have different goals and speed of iteration.

Cool Figma plugin inspired by a conversation between Lee Robinson and Brian Lovin on treating design decisions as credits: ​“Every design decision costs credits. A new font size costs one credit. A new gray costs one credit. The tool tracks unique values, not instances. Using 16px text 50 times counts as 1 credit. Using 16px, 18px, and 20px counts as 3 credits. The score aggregates font sizes, colors, spacing values, and font weights into total credits. Lower is better.”

Connect external tools to Make to pull in PRDs, tickets, and product documents, so you can create prototypes with full context. Update your connected docs or create tasks directly from Make to keep everything in sync. Supported connectors: Asana, Atlassian (Confluence, Jira), GitHub, Linear, mon​day​.com, and Notion.

Dylan Field shows several demos prepared with Gemini 3 Pro and highlights how this model stood out in one-shot generation and a wide range of visual aesthetics.

Loredana Crisan, Chief Design Officer at Figma, introduces Gemini 3 Pro as a new experimental model in Figma Make.

CMS makes it easy to create dynamic content for blogs, portfolios, events pages, and more. Design Advocate Kaitie Chambers covers key concepts and features, such as connecting data to your webpage, connecting fields to design layers, and using pre-connected CMS blocks.

Reuters: ​“Design software company Figma was hit with a proposed class action in California federal court on Friday for allegedly misusing its customers’ designs to train artificial intelligence models. The lawsuit said the company used its customers’ data and intellectual property without permission to train its generative AI tools, which according to the complaint led to San Francisco-based Figma’s ​“sky-high valuation” in a $1.2 billion initial public offering earlier this year.”
