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!

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).

SO TRUE that my question is REAAAAALLLY big and also pretty idealistic. We quite simply don’t currently live in a world that would recognise all the different components (and who does which combinations of each!)

OK, glad you said that because I was genuinely worries that you thought I was offering some panacea and you were going to claim I am full of shit.
Because sadly I'm not offering a panacea, because there is no such thing... and there is no real one solution to this.
