Still seeing people use the paint bucket tool for flat UI shadows in Figma

I watched a coworker spend 20 minutes last week painting shadow shapes one by one. Just use the drop shadow effect and tweak the offset. It takes 15 seconds. Am I the only one who gets annoyed watching people do things the slow way?

Man I used to be that guy painting shadows by hand too. Then someone showed me the drop shadow trick and I felt like an idiot for wasting all that time. It's amazing how little things like that can speed up your whole workflow.

Ngl @kevin_murray88, I spent 3 years hand-painting shadows and my cat could've shown me the shortcut faster.
