A web developer's critique of common Figma design pitfalls that create problems during implementation. Covers issues like full-width banners with unclear responsive behavior, focal point ambiguity across breakpoints, arbitrary line breaks that don't translate to real web rendering, and the proliferation of breakpoints. The core argument is that these 'betrayals' stem from Figma's inability to represent the fluid, responsive nature of the web, and that the real solution is early collaboration between designers, developers, and content authors — not more design iterations in isolation.
