There's SO much padding and wasted screen real estate

That seems to be a growing trend ever since "UX designers" started taking over (early 2010s?), to the point that I wonder if they're trying to see how far they can take it.

If you live in Figma then you never have to use what you design.

Who cares? if the senior designer is hot and young with 1 yr of experience that’s all that matters
