389: Better Design Reviews

March 17, 2021

This week, we talk about how to have better design reviews. Who, what, where, and when? We share our experiences, and frustrations, with certain formats and processes. In The Sidebar, we try to answer the question: WTF is up with NFTs?

Main Topic:

This week, Clooks asks on GitHub:

  • What does your design review process look like?
  • What should a design review be and what shouldn't it be (what should be broken out into a different forum)?
  • What are some helpful tips for remote facilitation to make design reviews fun, collaborative, and productive?

Cool Things:

  • Brian shared MusicalBasics, a YouTube channel with a ton of fun and interesting content around music composition and experimentation. In particular, the playlist about time boxed compositions is very fun to watch.
  • Marshall shared two “reacting to movies” YouTube channels: Natalie Gold and Shanelle Riccio. Watching friends watch the movies we love is just so delightful.
