343: Over and Undervalued Design Skills

<p>This week, we introduce a new supporter-only show segment, The Sidebar. Each week we'll be sharing a story, pro-tip, shortcut, or design-related cool thing. Supporters on Patreon will hear the first story today!</p> <p>We also discuss the most over and undervalued design skills, including feedback from folks on Twitter.</p> <p>And, of course, we share our cool finds of the week!</p> <hr /> <h3><strong>Golden Ratio Patrons:</strong></h3> <p>We're looking for partners to work with. If your team is hiring, launching a new product, or wants us to get the word out about a new initiative, please <a href="https://spec.fm/sponsors">get in touch</a>!</p> <hr /> <h3><strong>Latest VIP Patrons:</strong></h3> <p>Huge shoutouts to our latest <a href="https://www.patreon.com/designdetails">Very Important Pixels</a>!</p> <ul> <li>Ritu Maghera</li> <li>Jacob Lindström</li> <li>Dave Epstein</li> <li>Dan</li> <li>Omar Hassan</li> <li>Marco</li> <li>Lars Anttila</li> </ul> <hr /> <h3><strong>The Sidebar:</strong></h3> <p>We've been behind on Bonusland, and it's been a challenge for us to catch up. Additionally, we felt like bonus episodes were too infrequent and not compelling enough as a Patreon reward.</p> <p>This week we're starting a new experiment to make the patron rewards much better. It's a new segment of every episode called The Sidebar. In The Sidebar we will be sharing a story, pro-tip, shortcut, or design-related tidbit.</p> <p>In today's Sidebar, we talk about Marshall's 8-year anniversary at Google, and what it means to play the long game.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/brian_lovin/status/1250884296623058944">Read more</a> about how we ended up here + the <a href="https://twitter.com/mknepprath/status/1251871922255790081">inspiration</a> by way of Michael Knepprath.</p> <hr /> <h3><strong>Follow-up:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/elvin_not_11/status/1251156245748187142">Elvin</a> was the only listener who shared screenshots of early work with us - and it was good work!</li> <li>Second call
