Back then, you’d get some shit thrown at you if you posted a design on Dribbble that looked just a little bit too close to whatever design Stripe pushed live before.30 Mar 2026 11:15 +0000at://did:plc:crvh7msx3dvvvhdqgr76xbxi/app.bsky.feed.post/3mibjwowfas2chttps://bsky.app/profile/ivomynttinen.bsky.social/post/3mhw2k7dhz22tI’m in the middle of a large Figma library refactor (pre-variables), bringing it back in sync with an organically grown Vue component library. Thought I’d save time with the new MCP server + “skills.” Didn’t accomplish shit. Burns tokens, spams requests, gets absolute fundamentals wrong.25 Mar 2026 21:41 +0000at://did:plc:crvh7msx3dvvvhdqgr76xbxi/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhw2k7dhz22thttps://bsky.app/profile/ivomynttinen.bsky.social/post/3mgdctzqdh22jShaders in a UI design tool?
