What are the benefits for a designer to spend valuable time contributing to these? Do you contribute and if so, why? I can see entry-level designers contributing to gain some experience or projects for their portfolio but for designers that have been working for some time, apart from exposure or reputation, I can't make sense of it.</i></p><ul><li><a href="https://twitter.com/joeyabanks">Joey on Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.figma.com/@joey">@joey on Figma</a></li><li><a href="https://designdetails.fm/episodes/e5b025db">110: MAMP Patient Zero ft.
