[Figma Dev Mode](https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/15023124644247-Guide-to-Dev-Mode) solves this issue by offering developers all the necessary design details in a developer-friendly format. With access to measurements, code snippets, and assets, developers can easily translate designs into code without needing constant input from designers.
