In this week's Sidebar, we try to figure out what is the "duct tape of design."

• This week's Sidebar question comes from Matt on GitHub
• If you haven't seen the Papyrus SNL skit, now is the time.
• Swipies are awesome for sketching - it's reusable dry erase paper. We also have a discount code for you: DESIGNDETAILS will save you 10%.

This week we discuss what it takes to close the gap between being a junior and senior designer. Of course, our notes are not exhaustive, but hopefully offer some ideas for people in that situation who are looking to grow!

• Learn more about the Principal Agent Problem and learn to think like a principal.

• Brian shared eye masks, in general. Having trouble sleeping? Traveling and not going to be in a consistently-lit room for a while? An eye mask is not just for cartoonish rich people in the movies - you too can enjoy their benefits!
• Marshall shared Raised by Wolves, a new series on HBO that will certainly, for sure, without a doubt, take you away from all the troubles of the modern world. No sarcasm here, nope.
