Who saw that coming? Adobe just announced the acquisition of Figma for $20 billion! It's being called a 'new era of collaborative creativity', but what does it really mean? Dylan Field explained on twitter, followed by plenty of serious thought from the design community...but let's face it, we're here for the memes! Let's go:
There's always one that doesn't age well 😉:

Some serious thoughts:
Congrats to you and the team. I love to see an exit for so many employees. That’s a life changing moment for them.

I think a lot of designers backed Figma in the early days because it wasn’t Adobe. So I suspect a lot of designers are feeling slightly let down and betrayed about now.

Have a nice day!
Hope you enjoyed this curation, and remember to read this before taking advice from twitter design gurus that comment on the acquisition 😜.
One of the best article i've read in a long time. How can you be so accurate @robdiazzz? I am a "Liker Retweeter" for now, currently working on becoming a "List Maker" 👀. https://t.co/lDn64XpgKr
