" summary

Explains why Asia hosts the first international Config and claims 80% of users live outside the US, describes concrete product work — FigJam, Dev Mode, variables, translation and typography investments — and says AI features just shipped one week after Config to automate placeholders and responsive breakpoints so designers can work at a higher abstraction. Debates whether PM and design converge, reports mixed reaction (real excitement and real worry), and offers community examples from government use to third graders in classrooms.
