This is quickly becoming the norm in every industry. Every employer wants fewer employees to do more, without paying them more of course.

It's not just developers. I'm in web marketing and I'm expected to do front end work including creating figmas and writing code. This is along with my regular duties as a marketer.

I need to figma resume and get out of here.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 24 points 2 months ago

UX designers use figma to create mockups that front end developers use to make landing pages.

Open source alternative is called penpot.app

Worth checking out

There are so many plugins for figma that it is hard to switch to anything else.

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I’m full stack and use it for quick mockups and communication with our marketing person at work.

But I never hoped on the figma train fully, so penpot works for me.

What are some integrations that I might find useful?

(I work predominantly with a Stencil.js website and react native app (traditional MERN stack for the app, the stencil website has tons of custom integrations))

I use a handful of tools. I think the one I use the most is build. Io. It basically scrapes a page and creates a figma design from a webpage. It's useful if I'm planning on building a test or creating a new page that requires me to bring elements from other pages.

It cuts my workload in 1/2.

[-] Kojichan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Build.io? I'll have to look into that plugin. Is it a paid one, or does it come with the Figma seats?

I'm falling into that myself... It seems my boss is trying to prevent me from being Pidgeon-holed into being just a programmer.

Aka, he is diversifying my portfolio to keep me on board as an employee.

Guess it helps some full-stack'ers if they also have experience in graphics design and copywriting.

[-] blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Nah your boss is just getting you to work beyond what you're paid to do.

[-] Kojichan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

...and that, too. Tried to look at it as an existing Jack of All Trades. Get to learn new stuff!

But yeah... I feel like I'm being taken advantage of, sometimes.

[-] blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yea, do it to fill your resume with some good points but once you're not learning anything new it's time to leave.
