They're known for consistently shipping significant new features fast, so call it what you want but whatever they do works!

What you really don't want is to work at a ticket factory where every ticket is for a new hack that could be avoided by paying down basic technical debt :)

This is an external result of talent. However, it's also an external result of bad management. From the outside, we can't see how much of column A and how much of column B it really is, until the day we notice superfluous features, weird UX, bugs, and fix timelines on the order of years. Figma did give me almost 100% column-A vibes more than almost any other product I've used, so I was quite optimistic, but since the buyout I've noticed a few bugs/UX-issues of the concerning variety, and regardless of whether that timing is a coincidence, I'm starting to worry that in the end it will just be more business as usual for this piece of software.

Edit: Since the buyout announcement. But again, no idea if it's related.
