Making 9 sliced graphics for the web is obsolete though.
That said Flash also supported a bunch of innovation for its time, and it too was obsoleted.
Maybe 9 slice graphic were already dead at Fireworks’ peak.
Figma is officially way more overrated than this stuff ever was.
Does anyone know a person who’s like, bonafide smart, using Figma? I feel like everyone I know who does “Figma” day to day is doing negative ROI shit. It’s like anti-R&D. It’s the ultimate bullshit job for non engineers.
One of the top users of Figma by time-spent-in-app in its early days was the founder of a little tool called Notion.
So apparently spending your days in Figma can result in negative ROI shit like designing a billion dollar product.
But hey, I used to have the same gut feeling…that anyone who does something different to what I do all day is worthless. Then I got older and learned my model of the world, with me at the center of it, was naive and incorrect.
Well if your definition of bonafide smart is that they’re an engineer, then there are pretty few. If you think design and visual communication has any value whatsoever, then yeah, lots of people are using it, some of whom are very smart. That’s why they’re worth $20B after all.
I like the community here overall but there are far too many discussions tainted by the implicit assumption that if (royal) you see yourself as valuable then others value is synonymous with their similarity to you.
