Did @figma just change their layer order keyboard shortcut?! I'm tilting all my layers!!

I spent 18 months hiring for a Founding Designer Screened 5k+ portfolios, interviewed 100s, even extended offers. I tried everything... and learned so much... Didn't plan to write about this, but recently spoke with @robynxpark at @designerfund over a call. Main points in 🧵

Heading back to AMS. Huge thanks to @drewwilson for hosting such an intimate @valiocon and to everyone I met for the good times! Wrapped it up spotting a sperm whale — perfect ending.
