    I really love this episode, as an engineer who can design, I'm still looking for ways to grow, and this helps me figure out the trajectory.

    Hey Ridd, I remember your post from few year ago where you said that learning Webflow was more valuable then a 10k frontend bootcamp. Do you think the Framer offers the same value when it comes to learning about web dev concepts?

      fantastic question. It's funny... because I think Framer is more intuitive which does mean you lose a bit of this lol.

      @@joindiveclub Hey, thanks for the quick answer, quick follow up question. If you were starting over and your goal was to learn more about frontend so your designs would become more feasible would you still choose Framer, or would you go with Webflow? 🙏

      @@srdjan.despic I would still choose Framer :) There are other ways to learn Frontend principles.
