Saw a guy at Figma meetup in Chicago use auto layout on a whole landing page in 4 minutes
I was just sitting there watching him. He didn't even break a sweat. Just dragged everything into frames, set the padding, and it snapped together. I had been doing that same layout manually for hours the week before. Felt stupid. Has anyone else had that moment where you realize you've been doing something the hard way for way too long?

Auto layout is one of those things where once it clicks, you can't go back. I spent way too long manually spacing things out and then having to redo everything when the client wanted changes. Now I just set up a few auto layout components and the whole page basically builds itself. That moment when you realize how much time you wasted is painful but at least you're past it now lol.

Oh man, the wasted time realization hits hard. Auto layout is like a cheat code once you get it. You ever have a project where it saved you from a total redo?
