Figma AI is fun and all, but my god is it slow.
Asked it to fetch data from a website and apply that to a list of cards (13 cards in total)
Ended up doing it myself. Meanwhile Figma AI is still working on it

In the early 2000s, there was this Dutch site called ‘Clubs’ that allowed you to set up super simple communities based on whatever topic you’d like. It had a little forum, photo album, private messages, and whatnot.
You could style it with basic HTML and CSS. I met some cool people there and wanted what they had built. So I had to learn how to design banners and buttons in Photoshop and HTML/CSS to style the pages.
If I had never come across it, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now

This. If you think you’re good at design, let’s try it whilst also juggling many more hats
Also, the freedom it gives you is unmatched

Everyone should give freelancing a try at least once. Even if your goal is to work full time, those skills come in super handy when the layoffs roll around
