Figma has been such a blessing while running our UI/UX studio. We work with technical teams (mostly SaaS) and Figma has 10X our productivity internally and made it a lot easier for the dev teams we work with to implement the designs. Having all files neatly organized in a shared online environment that isn’t platform specific, with all the inspector tools in place is huge.

I am a backend developer who somehow ended up a full stack developer... aka... you can do html so you can also do the frontend. So what is figma and for what should I use it?

You can use it to make mockups, to plan the layout of your apps. And then use the markup output to build the front-end. Makes coding easier.

It's difficult for Sketch to compete with Figma being platform agnostic.
