RT @Australian_Devs: Very interesting. This also why companies should hire for attitude and aptitude over technical skills. https://t.co/4t…


Very full house for @ghohpe’s talk on resilience! #yow16 https://t.co/Czr60XAtsv


Robust = T-800 and Colossus. Resilient = T-1000 and Deadpool. Clever analogy! @ghohpe #yow16 https://t.co/rkHtNd23Yr


@mark_sabbatical @ghohpe Interestingly, mostly column A but still with a bit of column B!

Getting an intro to Closure Compiler features from @DamonOehlman. “Foo’s getting a bit of a workout today…” #yow16 https://t.co/uqZS8MAcd8


Now onto TypeScript… “which definitely fits on a screen better.” #yow16 @DamonOehlman https://t.co/3CalZHS9Rp


@MelissaKaulfuss Whoa… That sucks about the jerks, but cool to see your tweet getting shared so widely!!


Attendee: “When you changed your mind about Closure Compiler, was it real or Stockholm Syndrome?” @DamonOehlman: “Good question!” 😂 #yow16


DUUUUUUUUDE. So cool! 🤘 Way to go @cathyblabla! https://t.co/Igj6zzOxRa


It’s finally time. Red Lippie of Confidence has been deployed. #yow16 https://t.co/OoG9Bfac7W https://t.co/S0lFGJ3Mgi


The view from the lecture before my talk. That’s @unclebobmartin. No pressure. #yow16 https://t.co/0rUm9r63Lr


RT @BernHyland: Kudos to the @yow_oz team, volunteers & Dave Thomas, chief defect officer, for a thought provoking conference #yow16 https:…


@ArcTanSusan You’ll have to ask @unclebobmartin – it was in his keynote. I suspect it was an observation.


RT @yow_oz: Got FOMO bad? Join us in Brisbane or Sydney for #yow16 https://t.co/dJ3C7reqlC


RT @mrowe: Nice to see @web_goddess calling out Charles Petzold’s “Code”. Everyone should read it. Especially software developers. #yow16


RT @lilapinot: ‘By looking at what you do in a new way, you’ll get better at it’ @web_goddess on knitting & programming, how art meets tech…


@sufw Thank you for your tweets! I enjoyed following along in all your sessions. 🙂


@billwscott @DivaDanese Apparently we have a lot in common! 😊


@billwscott @unclebobmartin No, he was laughing the whole time! Very gratifying for a speaker trying to keep it fun. 🙂


@DivaDanese I reckon we should make that happen. I suspect between the two of us, we could do it! 🙂


.@Phoebe_Timmins You were robbed! The best and worst luck, really. If they ever do an All-Stars, my money’s on you. 😉


RT @chiuki: Elite worship: Are developers who tweet, blog, speak and open source inherently better? https://t.co/p45ekxNezx


See, Brisbane? You should come to the weird knitting talk! 😁 #yow16 https://t.co/RaagPfhhFB


Time for this circus to move to the next town! #yow16 https://t.co/uame4iFAwN
