Config 2024: Designing for code: creative tools on hard mode (Barron Webster, Replit)

Config 2024: Designing for code: creative tools on hard mode (Barron Webster, Replit)
At Replit, the team is designing an end-to-end, multiplayer platform for software development & deployment. This talk will be about what they've learned over the years designing for programmers (hint: it's kinda like cooking for chefs.)
Barron will cover unique multiplayer challenges and why it's not as simple as ""it's like Figma!"", how they stay focused in a field that's infinitely expansive, how they think about magic, when to invent vs adapt, and settle the ""should designers code"" debate once and for all.
Featuring: Barron Webster, Product Design Manager, Replit

Very thoughtful points, thank you to the presenter

Figma is telling everyone "stop asking for advanced features" we want to keep it simple.
