This post details the engineering effort behind implementing nested folders in Figma. It highlights a shift in development methodology from traditional product development to a 'lead with code' approach, emphasizing early PRs for rapid prototyping and validation. The post also discusses the blurring of roles between engineering, design, and product management, with engineers taking on design decisions and designers contributing to code. This collaborative approach, facilitated by tools like CoderBox and a strong design system, allowed for faster iteration and a deeper understanding of technical constraints and implementation complexities.
