๐Ÿ˜ฒ โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘ Well done to @themaninblue and the @canva team! https://t.co/CnhCsiweZC


Recruiter I’ve never met emails me asking me to share an opening with my network. THAT’S YOUR JOB. YOU GET PAID TO DO THAT, NOT ME. ๐Ÿ˜ก


Queenslanders – @CodeforAus are looking for 3 folks for fellowship to work with gov. 6 month paid positions! https://t.co/csSpVrvZP3


Another industry classic that I’ve had on my To Read list forever… https://t.co/uxfkWvbd68


@NicoleADonnelly You should ABSOLUTELY do that! And I will be with you in spirit. ๐Ÿ™‚


@TheTonyHam Welcome to why women have been bitching about jumpsuits and rompers for decades.


@NicoleADonnelly Haha, I’m giving a version of it *again* at a meetup tonight!


@jessbudd4 @Mandy_Kerr I don’t mind when I know the person. But this is a complete random! No, you haven’t earned the right to ask me to do your job. ๐Ÿ™


RT @JessicaCGlenn: I should mention… it’s me interviewing her… so it’s going to be anything but boring! #lmbdw #startupaus https://t.coโ€ฆ


@LouiseSchenk I hate LinkedIn. I *think* I just sent you a message via there, but let me know if not. ๐Ÿ˜€


@Mandy_Kerr @jessbudd4 @fendersperth That is frigging genius. I might try that out myself. ๐Ÿ™‚


Two incidents. See if you can spot the common thread:


1) I tell my mother on the weekend that I got contacted by a headhunter for a Head of Engineering role. She says in surprise, โ€œReally?โ€


2) Was just showing an old friend the beanie I knitted with Arduino and LEDs. โ€œOh cool!โ€ he says. โ€œDid Rodd help you?โ€


I mean, WTF. Why assume that my husband – who is exactly as qualified as I am and who has been in industry exactly as long – knows more?


I just frigginโ€™ DESPAIR sometimes. Really. ๐Ÿ˜ก


I had a beer. Rage subsiding. Thanks for the support. ๐Ÿ˜‰


@onsman Now that my urge to kick all men in the collective crotch has passed, I can acknowledge your excellent sick burn. ๐Ÿ˜‚


@kcarruthers Congrats on the UNSW gig!! Just discovered my friend @unlikelylibrary now reports to you and was like, No way! I know her! ๐Ÿ˜Š


Another night, another ridiculous meetup selfie with cameo by @karlbowden in the background. ๐Ÿ˜‚ #cocoaheads https://t.co/uY51uGdc4S


I am starting to strongly associate Functional Reactive Programming with @TacticalGrace. #cocoaheads https://t.co/libJa4Ijrq


Conf & meetup organisers: you want @TacticalGrace to speak. Every time I see him Iโ€™m blown away. Great slides, energy, well rehearsed. https://t.co/zqqNp2jtN1


I appear to have infected him with the selfie bug. ๐Ÿคฃ https://t.co/32biOXTuQA


A nice shout out to @conal, who spoke at #ylj17 just last week! #cocoaheads https://t.co/n61dC2wTkd


@pipequanta Awww, thanks. Iโ€™m actually really happy in my current role! It was more that I was flattered and she was incredulous.


@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops Iโ€™m raising my hand across town. โœ‹๏ธ


@geekle @infracoders Yep! @pwcc has talked me into speaking at @wpmelbourne on Thursday, so I thought I might as well come meet the @infracoders too!


@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops I spoke yesterday to a new group of aspiring devs, who were all freaking out that a โ€œmentorโ€ had told them they needed to be coding 24/7


@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops That a job is 9-5, then your side hustle is 6-2. I was aghast. โ€œThatโ€™s BULLSHIT. You need a life. You need SLEEP. Thatโ€™s UNETHICAL.โ€


@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops See, @hannahcancode? Tell your friends. ๐Ÿ™‚


HE JUST EMAILED ME AGAIN! He sent me the same email twice. So useless he canโ€™t even keep track of his spam. https://t.co/mZ5a5r7YC3


Checking placement of the Britney mic before my #cocoaheads debutโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚ https://t.co/5ZsKxxbDqs


LOLOLOLOLOL ๐Ÿ˜‚ https://t.co/lICxDIM9JA


@geekle @infracoders @pwcc @wpmelbourne Clarifying! WP Melb is Wednesday. Infra is Tuesday. (Iโ€™ve had some beers.) ๐Ÿ˜‚


@LukeDurrant Thanks! (How was my Swift?? That was the bit I was most nervous about.) ๐Ÿ˜‚


@MichelePlayfair ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


@keranm I โค๏ธ the Britney mic. Closest Iโ€™ll ever get to my own Vegas revue. ๐Ÿ˜‰


@LJKenward @LukeMesiti @juniordev_io Such a great venue! Nice job @Zendesk for hosting. ๐Ÿ™‚


@apaipi ๐Ÿ˜ Jealous!


RT @ParksAndRecPics: https://t.co/B2V3sqFS2q


@karlbowden PS Is there any way a non-CBAer could get one of those sweet pixel sunglasses shirts, I wonder? ๐Ÿค”


Ooh, another new Broadway cast recording to explore! @pwcc @johnallsopp https://t.co/au2LRAdSPw


I just used https://t.co/AvVZxLWGgg to tweak my terminal. ๐Ÿ˜ Thanks @veronica_hanus! #growthmindset https://t.co/Vs6CQGKBtX
