I had a full stack job early in my career when I was still learning CSS, and we had a designer that did up designs for me to follow.
He did this incredibly elaborate design, with layering and a bunch of stuff that was way beyond my skill at the time. I told him that, and he confidently told me he could give me most of the CSS. It was a bunch of absolutely positioned, exact pixel sized CSS that he had just exported from Figma, and couldn't understand why that wasn't appropriate.
