A Figma competitor is a really good thing - many people are waiting to jump ship for a decent competitor. However, for the sake of longevity & lawsuits, maybe tweak the UI a little bit. Just to make it not look exactly like Figma. Well done though!

I wonder if we're heading to a situation where agent written code will function as something distinct, like bytecode.

Yup. Unfortunately common I think - not just with UI components. Occam's razor is sometimes only for others.

I wish Europe would just push back. More than what they are currently. There is so much potential there, but somehow the EU all look at the US as some form of idealogical father figure. Excuse the hyperbolic-talk.
Recently I've put Claude/others to use in some agentic workflows with easy menial/repetitive tasks. I just don't understand how people are using these agents in production. The automation is absolutely great, but it requires an insane amount of hand-holding and cleanup.

I think a lot of modern day stoicism is stoicism-without-hardship. And I think hardship is necessary for stoicism - otherwise all you have is determined detachment, which is something else entirely.

Thats a poor characterization to choose 2 of the least talked about apps from that company. Also your response to the claim "the best engineers do X" is logically flawed. Maybe google doesn't use their "best engineers" to build out those cherry-picked examples? maybe they used them for Search or infrastructure or something else?
I'm commenting on the article, and the first point in the article doesn't sound like search or infra. Maybe read that before assuming things. And why would it be "logically flawed"?
