> was much more confident and convincing with a functional demo versus a hand-wavy figma + guesstimate.
Except it also blurs the lines and sets incorrect expectations.
Management often see code being developed quickly (without full understanding of the fine line between PoC and production ready) and soon they expect it to be done with CC in 1/2 the time or less.
Figma on the other hand makes it very clear it is not code.
Which is why I like balsamiq. It looks like hand sketches but can be interactive. I can create any UI for brainstorming in a matter of minutes with it. Once the discussion is settled, we can move to figma for actual UI design (colors, spacing,…).
