I'm worried about Figma Make failing here.
Credits are way too expensive and go by too fast.
I pay $240/M for 10K credits (on top of whatever I already pay Figma). 10K credits ran out in 2 hours on Version 11.
That's unusable right there.
They reset every 10 days. TEN DAYS!

@RubenRohlstein @TyroneC__ On €10k Brutto revenue you are left with about €3-4k after taxes and abgaben. Yes.
English
@TyroneC__ the real tax rate is about 70% if you truly consider every tax, mwst and "abgaben" you pay monthly
English
Being self-employed in germany is the endboss.
If you can make it here you can make it anywhere.
I pay:
- 35-40% tax
- 1.300€ in health insurance / month
Every. Single. Month.
Paying for health insurance is like renting a second flat that i never use.
This is a ton of pressure for smaller entrepreneurs on top of all the bureaucracy you have to tackle.
And no the healthcare system is not as good as you think.

@TyroneC__ Ya. That’s why I am leaving Germany. Not a good place for ambitious people. You’re basically getting punished for being ambitious. It’s a pure rat-race

Same here. After 1.5 years of intense use, I’ve cancelled my @WHOOP subscription. The offboarding experience tells you all about the company. Good luck.
Not a huge fan of @bevel_health either. There have to be better alternatives…

I canceled my @WHOOP subscription, and the only reason was that they made it extremely hard to cancel. It’s not possible via their app, and even if you find their obscure link, they don’t allow you to cancel unless you answer 9/10 questions. Feels extremely deceiving. Better to avoid paying companies that have zero respect to their users.

Will join.

Last night I was struggling…
The weight of our home being under attack in Dubai, not knowing where our fam will stay in 2 weeks from now, family health issues back in Australia, and business having a slower period.
Then my 21 month old comes up to me, could see that I was sad, said “daddy, up, dance” and immediately changed my mood.
New level of love unlocked 🔓

@CharlesPattson Very true. That’s what many designers obviously don’t see

PMs:
designers are cooked
Designers:
we are NOT cooked. We are still the arbiters of taste, craft, systems, strategy, flows, polish, vision, and the human experience. We ALWAYS will be.
English
Honestly, I’m glad this type of design is being automated because it’s so boring there can’t possibly be any designer who enjoys doing this type of work manually.
To me it’s just Templates 2.0

Figma is not out.
If anyone automates design with AI it will be them. Still not convinced on any of the AI design tools I've seen - they are fun to use for quick ideas and to help spur thinking.
Figma could make a Google Stitcj killer and be back on top.

So tired of "designers are cooked" , "rip designers" , shitposting on x, blocking everyone I'm seeing posting that crap
English
But it still all looks like typical AI slop 😬

We’RE CoOkEd. iT’S oVeR. wE’Re DoNe.
Design X is making me nuts. Seems like “designers” never understood what design is all about and seems like they never will. Design is not aesthetics. It’s intelligence in form. Thank God for these products making my life easier in creating better products.

@libertas_HH Von unten drücken die immer signifikant höheren Lebenshaltungskosten und von oben die immer höhere Steuern. Und dann noch verlangen „Wir müssen mehr arbeiten!“. Hau ab.

Den Spitzensteuersatz kann man von mir aus erhöhen. Aber dann bitte auch ehrlich sein: Der sollte erst bei 150.000 oder besser 200.000 Euro Jahreseinkommen greifen.
In Deutschland gilt man viel zu schnell als „Spitzenverdiener“, obwohl man oft einfach nur gut verdient und hart arbeitet.

@jreichelt @julius__boehm Ich habe fertig. So schnell wie möglich weg hier bevor neue wegzugsregelungen verabschiedet werden, die es dann kompliziert machen. Wow.

Merz im Februar 2025, drei Wochen vor der Wahl: "Und ich denke überhaupt nicht dran, mit irgendwem höhere Steuern für die sogenannten Reichen zu verabreden. Es gibt für uns keine Diskussion – die Einkommenssteuer ist hoch genug."
Merz vor wenigen Tagen: "Spitzensteuersatz? Die Zitrone ist ausgequetscht."
CDU heute: Spitzensteuersatz könnte deutlich steigen. Das Handelsblatt berichtet sogar von einem möglichen Anstieg um sieben (!) Punkte von 42 auf 49 Prozent.
In Rheinland-Pfalz steht in einer guten Woche der große Steuer-Wortbruch zur Wahl!

The richest people I know are doing one of 2 things:
Going all‑in on AI - building, and not sleeping while they try to understand what is coming.
Selling everything - cashing out and going to Europe, New Zealand, or off-grid.
Weird how few are in the middle.
