Main Topic:
This week, Blucose asks on GitHub: how do you decide what to focus on? How do you make sure you become a master, rather than a jack of all trades?
Cool Things:
- Brian shared Posts by read.cv — a new app for designers to hang out and talk shop; it's like Twitter, but for designers, and it looks fantastic.
- Marshall shared bockwild.com — a wonderful site built by listener Dakshi that highlights some of the buck-wild things Marshall has said on the show.
