      <title>Why I Use Cursor With the Figma MCP — and Why I Still Test on a Cabled iPhone</title>

      <description>Cursor's Figma MCP means I stopped eyeballing screenshots for spacing and color — I get the real node data. And nothing ships until I have watched it live on an iPhone plugged into my Mac, because Safari, not desktop Chrome, is the browser most of my clients' actual customers use.</description>

      <description>The second posting on the 2026 market is not a softer AI engineer. It is one person who owns Python and the React TypeScript screen — and who has already put an LLM feature in front of real users. Mixing it with the LangGraph-production seat is how a JD asks for two seniors and pays for one.</description>

      <description>MCP is the USB port for AI tools: a model lists functions, calls them with a schema, and gets data back. It is not a chatbot and it is not a reason to buy a gateway. When a ten-person company should wire it this month, when a form is still the right product, and how I would connect Figma, Next.js, and a bounded agent.</description>

      <description>CSS and GSAP animate the page. Three.js and Pixi.js draw a scene on the GPU. When a product needs thousands of sprites, a 3D configurator, or a canvas that must hold 60 fps, the DOM is the wrong tool. How I choose between them.</description>
