Figma auto-layout made me undo months of manual spacing work
Last month at a design meetup in Austin, a guy showed me how auto-layout could fix my messy button stacks. I realized I'd been hand-spacing every element in my UI kits for 6 months, wasting hours on tiny adjustments. Has anyone else felt like auto-layout is a cheat code they ignored for too long?

Oh man, that hit home for me. I spent like two weeks last year manually adjusting padding on a dropdown menu component across 15 different states. After I finally bit the bullet and learned auto-layout, I felt kinda dumb for all that wasted time, but also relieved it existed.

Heard a podcast where someone said auto-layout is the kind of thing you don't think you need until you try it...
