Been using Figma since 2016 and I miss the old community days

I hopped into a Figma meetup in Austin last week and it felt way different than when I started back in 2016. Back then it was like 12 people in a coffee shop sharing weird plugins, now it's a big event with sponsored talks and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love how far the tool has come, but I kinda miss the vibe of figuring out auto layout together as a group. Anyone else feel like the community got too polished or is it just me?

Kinda miss when my Figma fails were just mine, not a whole webinar.

Ah man, I actually kinda like the shared fails now - we all learn way more from watching someone else's Figma meltdown than our own.

Flip that around though. Watching someone else crash and burn is the only way I actually remember not to do the same stupid thing myself. Your private fails just teach you one person, a webinar teaches a hundred.
