Figma Adds Code Layers, Support for Animations, More AI Features in New Update

My take: Figma has been adding AI little by little for months, but this update really jumps: code layers right on the canvas, native animations, and integrations with Claude Code and Codex to close the eternal gap between the person who designs and the one who codes. What I love most is that AI agents can now act directly on Figma's collaborative canvas, which makes the workflow far smoother. Anyone who has worked in product knows the back-and-forth between design and code is where the most time is lost, like tossing the ball around without the game ever moving forward. This cuts exactly that cycle. It does not solve everything, but it is the most substantial Figma update since Dev Mode launched, and I love seeing Claude empower whole teams there. Sure, that is my opinion.
