BEHIND THE BUILD: GENERATIVE PLUGINS AND SHADERS AT FIGMA

Figma has introduced generative plugins and shaders to the canvas to give users a way to design the tools they need, when they need them. Users can publish plugins and shaders to the Figma community or privately within organizations on Organization or Enterprise plans. The agent can build motion and interactivity into any effect, and users can view and download the code behind any shader or plugin. The Figma MCP server can be used to view, change, and export generative plugins and shaders.

INTRODUCING ADAPTIVE INTELLIGENCE: UNDERMINING THE ECONOMICS OF EVERY BOT ATTACK

Adaptive Intelligence is a new bot detection engine from Cloudflare that makes getting through so slow and costly that attacks stop being worth running. Not every attack is obvious to spot, and the economics of deterministic detection are always in the attacker's favor. Adaptive Intelligence makes sure that nothing attackers learn stays true, so each new attempt costs more than the last. It recognizes bots without visibly reacting to them and treats detection as a statistical judgment, weighing many signals at once so there's no single piece of logic for an attacker to isolate and beat.

WHY ADDING MORE AI AGENTS MAKES YOUR TEAM SLOWER

Agent scaling is about how cleanly a system allows agents to work in isolation without stepping on each other all the time. This requires expertise in the problem domain, a keen eye for good architectural decisions, and good measurement. Coding is the easy part of writing software - it's everything else that takes most of the time. There's only so much you can streamline before you start losing a significant amount of quality.
