It took @DaffyGiving a little more than a year to reach $20M in charitable assets.
Wow, how fast we've grown since then. 🚀
It has now been 5 years since we launched, and Daffy now has more than $2 billion in charitable assets. 🤯
100x growth in less than 4 years. 💸
Anthropomorphism, like skeuomorphism, is a really big trap that won’t feel like it. Hugely misleading for a user to build a good mental model of how things work.

Proud to have backed @hoomanrenezhad from the very beginning. Cheaper, sovereign, cleaner all together in one
Today we're announcing $75M to build Solcoa One, our 500-tonne rare earth metallization plant in Nevada.
At Solcoa, we believe rare earths are the foundation of America's next great industrial era. An era we intend to win on the merits, with superior American technology.

User interfaces are not going away.
Yes, humans will use computers alongside agents. When working with agents, we will need the ability to audit what agents do in a human-readable way.
Yes, some interfaces (ex: dashboards, in-chat UI for ephemeral tasks, etc) will be generated. Most important interfaces will be intentionally designed. We will want both deterministic and non-deterministic interfaces in different situations. We're thinking a lot about the best ways to help designers shape non-deterministic systems at Figma.
Yes, new input modalities like voice, VR/AR and BCI will change the way we use computers and introduce lots of new interaction paradigms. This is all very exciting :)
Overall, the surface area of design will continue to grow much broader. Design is the new code and the key differentiator for software moving forward. Expect more and more energy to go into design / craft in the years ahead... it will be how you win or lose.
Eric is right about plenty of things, but the market will prove him wrong on this one...
Modern cameras burst to 30 or 60 fps - so for a typical weekend of soccer games we (my wife) might shoot a couple of thousand shots she has to sort through after to find the best, group the others etc. Anyone working on any AI native systems to really nail this?
Anyone know how to completely reset all Bluetooth pairings on iPhone? Reset all settings doesn’t do it.
Delighted to join the board of @nextladder and help more Americans navigate life's most challenging moments. Really essential work: linkedin.com/posts/johnlilly…

1/ Yesterday @XcimerEnergy fired up Phoenix — now the largest privately-owned laser on the planet. We're investors, and I'm fired up about this one. Quick thread on a counterintuitive idea: a bigger laser is the path to a cheaper fusion plant.
Fun to do an interview on the @nuro blog: nuro.ai/blog/meet-the-nurons…
It's a huge privilege to get to work with incredible entrepreneurs who are making real progress on some of the world's most urgent problems. (And a huge privilege to get to work on it with this team @gigascale.)
1/ Today we're announcing Gigascale Capital's $250M first institutional fund to back early-stage founders rebuilding the physical economy.

"Design vs code" is a false dichotomy.
What we're working towards at Figma: freeform design AND prototyping with code AND shipping to production
... all in one connected, collaborative and visual first platform.
