Auto layout finally clicked after 4 failed attempts
I spent two years fighting Figma's auto layout. Every tutorial made it seem easy, but my frames kept exploding and padding got weird. Last month I forced myself to rebuild the same button 12 times and something just snapped. The key was understanding that auto layout only stacks in one direction, so you need nested frames for anything complex. Now I rebuild client components in half the time, but I still don't get why resizing behavior has so many modes. Has anyone else hit a wall with it and then it just worked one day?

Twelve buttons is oddly specific, I did the same with toggles and now I can't stop.
