The dev mode is incredibly beneficial. If you're interested in utilizing additional plugins for developers on Figma, check out this article which includes several free plugins: https://designmodo.com/figma-to-...

@sentry_co Their CTO demoed it in this keynote, you can take a look if you're interested in the details: https://config.figma.com/video-o...
I found it pretty sleek.
Once UI
@sentry_co I'm a product manager myself but had a look with a few of our developers, and what we liked was that a lot of the clutter was gone that devs don't need, and instead it's easier for them to inspect the designs and pull out some CSS (which can be used if the designs have been built properly). There's also a VSCode plugin to have the designs and be able to code side by side.
I also liked the GitHub plugin: instead of just dropping Figma links into GitHub issues, you can link to GitHub from specific parts of the design in Figma.

@sentry_co I think it will help in better collaboration. Or dev team has started using it, but it’s also very clever of them to make it free just till end of the year, just like figjam
Once UI
I chatted about this with a few of our devs yesterday and they were very excited. I think it's great that Figma is finally providing a UI that's catered to their needs, especially with inspecting designs (also in VSCode!), code snippets.
