@irasnadaas @tinkadoic I think this is a great call out. I’ll chat with Tin about just sharing a public link. It’ll save us a lot of hassle doing all this DM stuff. Good push.

@shaivyaruchi @tinkadoic Mind opening up your DMs or following so we can send you the invite? Thanks!

@tinkadoic For those of you looking for invites, either open up your DMs or follow one or both of us. It'll make the whole sending you the invite thing via DM a lot easier. Feel free to unfollow us afterward, too. This is NOT a ploy to growth hack follower counts. Thanks!

Hey Design Twitter. @vashthest & me started a Senior IC Designer (Lead/Staff/Principle) Slack channel. Ping one of us to get looped in.

If you're curious how to do this well, you already have the skills. Think of you as the product, your portfolio as the homepage, your target audience as recruiters and HMs, and other designers as competitors. This post captures this concept well: https://t.co/nL2W4hRr3u

I’ve been in many meetings where the group reviews portfolios for ~2 minutes before making a call—oftentimes to pass. Portfolios have gotten too verbose. Make a good impression quickly with a simple presentation of HQ mocks or prototypes and succinct design rationale. That’s it.

@kowitz The episodes on adult development from The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish have been really good. Book-wise, I’ve really enjoyed Quiet Leadership by David Rock. Lastly, Wait But Why’s How to Pick a Career.

@tannerc Let’s start small. If there’s more interest, we can always write about it.

[Yi Wei @vashthest]

@tannerc We just rolled out a new program on our Product Design team to focus on the latter. It’s just a V1 and modeled after eng since they have a healthy senior IC culture. Happy to share what we’ve done if you’d like.

Great short read on how robots may affect humanity’s outlook. For all makers out there, think about how the things we’re creating are contributing to these visions: "Manna: Two Visions of Humanity's Future" by Marshall Brain https://t.co/b8ED8VMBcn
