Evan Wallace (the author) is also the co-founder and CTO of Figma. Absolutely remarkable engineer. His co-founder Dylan is an investor in our company, and I can’t seem to get in touch with Evan at all because he’s always super heads down on something meaningful (such as esbuild). Mad respect for him.
- nojvek 6y agoHow does he do Figma CTO-ing and at the same time building esbuild? That’s mad hours. Also one of the things I love about Figma is their obsession on performance. It feels such a joy to use. Runs circles around any Adobe product. It’s written in a browser. Figma and vscode are my inspiration for browser based tools.

I would say (not for the sake of bragging but for qualifying the legitimacy of my position) - I probably pull similar hours across CTO-ing, investing, and learning biochemistry. Then again, I'm commenting on HN and Evan isn't, so maybe not. :P
