I wonder what this does to their valuation? It's not really my area so I don't know, but once a company is willing to buy you at a certain price, you're kinda "worth" that price right?

There was only one company to which Figma was worth $20 billion and that was Adobe, because it was a long term threat.

I just hope Google or Msft doesn't get any funny idea to buy Figma.

I could definitely see MSFT making an attempt, to bring Figma + VSCode closer together.

Sush… don’t give them any ideas

In all fairness, I thought GitHub got tons of useful features after the acquisition. The stability definitely felt like it suffered, but I kinda just chalked that up to growth and difficulty stabilizing new features. But at least recently its stability seems to have improved (no jinxing...)

Microsoft acquisition makes sense. GitHub is basically Figma for developers, and they are one of the most solid AI players out there.
