Nice post. Figma's engineering blog looks great; right up there with Airbnb's and Etsy's which I also enjoy.

Airbnb is a great example of a terrible experience that just keeps getting worse. It makes my M1 Mac, my 32 core workstation and my top of the line android device chug.

The shininess of the engineering blog and the actual product seem to be completely disconnected. All the major players (Airbnb, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) go on about all these often genuinely impressive perf optimizations, but if you actually try the product they're borderline unusable. It's pretty clear that the blogging is just a clout chasing exercise, but the cognitive dissonance is still palpable.
