Thank you for providing such a great example and explanation. May I kindly ask if your team also adopts vibe coding in your design workflow for iOS/Android app products? I'm curious how you actually implement it. Thanks a lot!
It keeps reminding me of the endless discussions we've always had about designers needing to code, or at least understand how the frontend works, along with the long conversations about the front of the front-end and how developers never actually valued or wanted to manage it.
I'll never forget a dev teammate complaining: "Why should I spend another 80 hours translating your designs into code if you've already spent 80+ hours perfecting it in Figma, which's showing me, guess what? The code!?"
i can safely say i’ve never seen the word verisimilitude in a blog post before, but i gotta say, i’m here for it!
Curious about how you are using your own design system to build the Ui using AI. We've struggled to get this working well.
Are you using Figma Make?
Mostly using Cursor. We recently posted our frontend framework from Ember to React to make it more amenable to this type of thing.
One of our designers has a great video about the more technical details: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7351624346194378753/
Hey Emmet!
Thanks for reaching out. Will have a look at the link you shared.
I agree too, React was probably the better choice. The component based approach works well with the various design and prototyping tools.

Would that make a frontender role obsolete though? On the engeneering side, are you merging Backend and Frontend roles too?
