RT @TheRealBnut: The plebiscite is ON! A lovely day to vote yes. #yes #VoteYes https://t.co/vqGFMJaiyN


I talked about this yesterday a little at #dddperth yesterday. Polled the room on burnout, and nearly everyone raised their hands. https://t.co/7tS9OrYavh


Here’s the excellent 😴 talk by @JamieSkella at @theWebMeetup that I mentioned yesterday at #dddperth. https://t.co/rAK5UUSR16 via @YouTube


@the_nathanjones I was getting riled up. 😤


See ya, Perth. Thanks to all my local friends for welcoming me as always, and to all the new folks I met at #dddpe… https://t.co/bYmsvSzrRL https://t.co/JV6BEndoYI

“I’d like to invite you to a VIP event! Tickets are $60.” Wait, what?


@hannahcancode My miniconf got approved!! 😳


@chrisgander Totally made me cry.


@hannahcancode Art + Tech! SO MANY IDEAS. We will talk. 🙂


@yow_conf Yay, is that @chaitanyakuber? 👋


@glasnt @hannahcancode Yes! I’d also like any advice you have on running a successful, awesome miniconf.


@LapTop006 You really should!


@TheRealBnut @hannahcancode Brilliant – thanks for the tip!


Fun #YOWData speaker drinks tonight! Great chats with @minxdragon and @ADuckIsMyFiend. https://t.co/sirplHdbvf


Love is… arriving home after 4 days away to “I made you chicken Wellington and there’s rosé chilling in the fridge.” 😍


@cprieto Your talk gave me flashbacks to when my Aunt sold off her vintage 2600 and collection of games in a GARAGE SALE before I could stop her. 😭


RT @msandfor: “The Campsite Rule” https://t.co/kqFdPNXml1 by @msandfor on @LinkedIn Inspired by @Web_Goddess and @DDDPerth #DDDPerth


@msandfor @DDDPerth You wrote a thing, inspired by my thing?! 😍


@lemon_lime Around the same time “basic” became an insult, I reckon.


Slides from my #dddperth talk are now online! The Campsite Rule – Leaving the Tech Industry Better Than We Found It https://t.co/H2cDAVJ8hB https://t.co/GwF7vo6vgj


Though really, they’re not going to mean a great deal without the accompanying video…


@battlepanda_au Nah, only 2-5, 8, and 22 were mine. The rest all @unsplash and @wocintechchat!


I have a BA in Film, TV, and Theatre. Have been working in tech my whole career! #unqualifiedfortech https://t.co/rjs25C1wa1


Great thread. Especially like the suggestion that one way you can improve things is calling out toxic behaviour when you see it. https://t.co/b3snJD5Zcx


RT @unixbigot: Good morning Sydney. I’m excited for the #YOWData conference, and awed to be among so many brilliant minds. Yes, you.


@maybekatz @natalieisonline @alicegoldfuss Same! I had no idea there were so many of us. 🙂


Morning keynote! Learning about big data and genomics from @lynnlangit and @allPowerde. (10% of ppl hate coriander? Poor things!) #YOWData https://t.co/iMB1ONYRsT


RT @delitescere: Kicking off @yow_conf day 1 of #YOWData – a heavy-hitting and information-packed programme. https://t.co/9RQutS5X4F


Sad about missing #YOWData? You can still sign up for @jessetanderson’s Apache Beam workshop on Wednesday! https://t.co/fJdyUpV3wh


Due to privacy conditions, @lynnlangit & @allPowerde can’t show cancer genomics data. So instead… HIPSTERISM as fake disease. 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/cnxMnPtoMt


The hipster phenotype is characterised by unibrow, checked shirt, beard, and coffee consumption. 😂😂 #YOWData https://t.co/H0lRV1NdcG


RT @minxdragon: Fake disease genotypes – hipsters! Of course Melbourne is the main vector #yowdata https://t.co/cFIKYJDm5z


Somewhere my friend @diversionary just had a shiver go up his spine. 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/2kzYen7Vw2


Genetic editing offers the possibility of eradicating genetic diseases. Currently achieving a 70% success rate in some cases! 😳 #YOWData https://t.co/eaA0ELRJ1W


Loving @minxdragon’s amazing slides about the future of art created by computers – some of them a bit disturbing! #YOWData https://t.co/Yl2woZ2gmC
