I really hope this advice is heeded by those in #PhDchat and #AcademicTwitter generally. It's not just a problem in academia of course, but it certainly starts there as much as in middle-/high-school.
Learn to code!

Ha! I sillily broke those links — sorry! Here: http://oliviaguest.com / http://neuroplausible.com / http://bradlove.org / http://redistrict.science — I've coded all of these in HTML, CSS, JS but I get praise almost always without fail along the lines of "so pretty".

And of course they don't mean the source code is pretty [it isn't in many cases HAHA] they mean the design. And that's actually part of the problem. Only certain classes of people are typically praised for certain things.

And back to point a above, coding make my design and writing skills sharper. None of these skills IMHO are mutually exclusive.

Learning to code affects my art which I don't really plug often on Twitter, for various reasons (ones I think you were alluding to, but also related other ones I just outlined too).
