Dylan Field, CEO and co-founder of Figma, discusses how the company kept momentum after its Adobe acquisition fell through, why craft and design have become the real differentiator now that AI makes shipping software easy, and how counterintuitive bets like making FigJam fun proved decisive. He also covers Figma Make's growing role in prototyping, how taste can be developed and taught, and why the company keeps hiring aggressively despite AI-driven productivity gains.
