I saw this reel today and I feel it's such an ignorant take on the idea of Config or design conferences in general. I often see that design leaders love to talk in terms of design thinking and abstractions but when it comes to getting actual work done, it comes down to the tools and how efficiently a designer can use them to meet their deadlines. I get that Figma is just a tool but also, there is a community side to it. They have a rich library of articles about problem solving and design think if one chooses to explore. It's ALL free. Conferences like DesignUp and UX India are so expensive and also feel like self promotion for a lot of participants.

What do y'all think?
