In this week's Sidebar, we ask Yitong some bonus questions at the end of the interview:

• What is the most under-rated skill for designers?
• What is the most over-rated skill for designers?
• Do you find that your success thus far is mostly the result of luck or hard work?

• Yitong on Twitter
  • Creator of the Autoflow Figma plugin and goodweb.design, a beautiful landing page gallery.
• Trump Suspends Visas Allowing Hundreds of Thousands of Foreigners to Work in the U.S.
• Trump Freezes Green Cards, Many Work Visas Until End Of Year
• H-1B Visa
• Information about employment visas
• Information about Green Cards and Permanent Residence in the US
• The lump of labour fallay "is the misconception that there is a fixed amount of work—a lump of labour—to be done within an economy which can be distributed to create more or fewer jobs."

Notes from Yitong
21:18 It's only easy to change jobs as an H-1B holder if you are transferring to a company that already does H-1Bs and you're doing the same job. For example, if you're an engineer transitioning into design, that would be difficult.

21:46 You can only change jobs in the while in the green card queue if your job is not changing by more than a certain amount. This is especially difficult for people in the 10 year queue because it's not really possible to have same job for that long. So what you have to do is to re-prove to the government that your new job is not gonna take an American's opportunity (which is a year long process).

23:10 To be more specific, in most scenarios you get 60 days to find a new job.

33:05 & 20:20 Employment-based green cards require extensive proof that an immigrant's presence will not compete with American jobs, while visas require some proof, but less of it.

36:10 I think this points system only exists in Canada for permanent residencies aka Canadian green cards. Work visas Canada are even more straight forward.

• Brian shared Joey Banks' iOS 14 UI Kit for Figma.
• Marshall shared Hamilton (original cast performance) is now streaming on Disney+ - learn more. Not a bad way to spend $7.
• Yitong shared two essays about emotions that are both worth a read:
  • How not to be sad
  • Being Alone

In this week's Sidebar, Marshall and Brian explain their philosophy for home screen app organization. We nerd out on structuring columns, rows, and home screen peace-of-mind.

• Ali Angco wants a Designer Bingo card. We've started an outline, this could be fun.
• Joe Willmott shared some early work, the very beautiful and glorious omglaswerpewpew.com.
• Bailey Jennings asked if we could get full show notes in Spotify's podcast player. Sadly: no. Spotify, step it up!
• Kate Niendorf started to pick up some of Marshall's audio panning 👂

• Rowan Adams shared a story of asking a Design Details question in a design interview, and the candidate was the original question asker. This is buck wild, ya'll.
• Andy Ingram gave us a shout out for speaking normally – we try!

• Jessica Perelman asks: "What are some strategies that less experienced designers can use to get unstuck when working on complex problems?"
  • Things to watch out for:
    • Are the right stakeholders in the meeting?
    • Is the meeting focused too much on generation and not enough on constraints?
  • Tips to try:
    • Change fidelity
    • Embrace constraints
    • Revisit with the team right after the meeting
    • Find the best parts of discarded brainstorm outcomes
    • Do your homework, start the brainstorm with a strong opinion (weekly held)

• Brian shared his latest weekend tinker project, a personal Hacker News client that is more readable, supports dark mode, and is blazing fast.
• Marshall shared a video from Ten Hundred with a very cool illustration technique: the doodle grid. The whole video is worth a watch, for the art, music, and technique!

In this week's Sidebar we discuss digital gardening, personal knowledge management, and learning in public.

• Divya Tak added another point of wastage in low quality software: wastage through over-processing.
• Yuyang Luo shared their first app design that shows how safe your local area is.
• Jordan Koschei shared his college startup / side project, Shadoodle. See the pixels.
• We turned last week's episode into a blog post: Quality Software.
• Marshall has been tinkering with our audio balance – so far, nobody has noticed...until now?

• Vincent van der Meulen built a very neat recommendation engine on top of the Design Details website – this is so cool!

• Fabio Giolito wanted us to talk about something we said on a recent episode, "I'm not a great graphic designer."
  • Design is a visual medium but there's a misconception that all designers should be good at making pretty things (marketing pages, illustrations, icons, logos…)
  • I love systems and flows, solving problems and designing interfaces. When I try to make a marketing page or logo I feel frustrated and impostor syndrome kicks in.
  • I guess I'm not comfortable with the subjectiveness of visual stuff. You know when something is bad, but the gray area of taste and trends is way too big. While in UX there are more rules and logic involved.

• Brian shared We Are the Weather, a book by Jonathan Safran Foer about climate change, the food industry, and our role in the world.
  • Jonathan did a great interview on Armchair Expert where they also discuss this book.
• Marshall shared Notion, a wildly-flexible and powerful tool for writing and organizing information. This week they expanded the limits of their free plan, so it's a good time to give it a try!
  • Joey Banks wrote about his personal Notion setup.
  • David Hoang also outlined his method to use Notion as a workspace.

In this week's Sidebar we discuss four strategies for handling negative feedback from your customers.

• Ying Yao dug through the archives to share an early project from 2014: a crowdsourced app to help students rate the best classroom seat based on WiFi connectivity, outlet access, and visibility. Nice!
• Connelly Rader recommended Tom Vanderbilt's book, You May Also Like: Taste in an Age of Endless Choice after hearing our discussion on taste.
• Jon Yablonski has written a book! It's called Laws of UX, named after his fantastic website by the same name. Marshall and I both have our copies, and you should pick one up, too!

• Hilary agrees: Brain prototypes > wireframes, 99% of the time.
• Will Hsu isn't a podcast person, but for some reason Design Details stuck. Welcome to the clan!

• Kevin Gutowski dropped a question bomb on us this week, digging into the deep and subjective subject: what are the qualities of great design?
  • The Qualities of Great Design is a good video from the 2018 WWDC on this topic that we watched before recording.
  • Corridor Crew made a great vide reacting to bad and great CGi where they point out the details that us mere mortals won't notice, but have an impact on the final product.
  • /r/notmyjob is one of those anti-design details subreddits, and worthy of a skim.
  • Computers are like a bicycle for our minds.
  • The Aesthetic-Usability Effect tells us that "users are more tolerant of minor usability issues when they find an interface visually appealing."
  • Postel's Law tells us to "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send."
  • We tweeted a poll asking what comes to mind when you hear the phrase "quality software." Your answers were great, and thematically centered around: Fast, predictable, reliable, consistent, performant, well-crafted, delightful, hospitable, familiar, and thoughtful.
  • Defining what exactly makes software high quality is hard, but we know it when we see it.

• Brian shared Listening Together, a side project from the folks at Spotify the illuminates when two people in the world start playing the same song at the same time. Serendipity!
• Marshall shared Songland Season 2, his Tuesday evening good-feels after recording the podcast. It's available on NBC/Hulu, if you want to watch along.
