Huh. FB have changed their value from “Move fast and break stuff” to “Move fast… with stable infrastructure.” I hope all of the startups that idolise them reflect on that! #yow17 @JoshuaKerievsky https://t.co/R7VbMK1WY1

Accepted wisdom is to keep teams stable… but people aren’t robots, and adding even one new person to a team changes the dynamic. #yow17 @heidihelfand
Going to be fun getting from Melbs ➡️ Brisbane tomorrow. 😱 https://t.co/REAma6dboQ
Some interesting ideas for re-teaming from @heidihelfand: Survey folks to see if they want to move. Allow them to negotiate their own “trades” between teams. Have retros on team composition. I love all of these and wish more companies would use. #yow17 https://t.co/hzsGrNOuxA
@rosepowell Nope – conf is still on in Melbs today. 40+ of us heading to Brisbane tomorrow!

Splitting a team can feel traumatic, like the breaking of the Fellowship. @heidihelfand has advice for handling it. Sometimes you need to celebrate it. #yow17 https://t.co/xexWseTEo3
I literally made this face: 😲. Yes, disappearing team members is an anti-pattern, and it takes a serious toll on morale. We need to talk about this stuff. @heidihelfand #yow17 https://t.co/JOWm0zMaP5
@JoshuaKerievsky @heidihelfand GREAT photo! 😂

Great question from the audience: how do we handle when people get fired? Do we use a euphemism, downplay it, or pretend it didn’t happen? Important to know the legal constraints here. Talk to your HR team. #yow17 @heidihelfand
@yow_conf And I helped. ☺️

Sadly, @after_12 beat @thinkingfish to it! (He spells it like @yow_conf does too.) 😂 @JoshuaKerievsky https://t.co/Pfy1WLCzCN #yow17 https://t.co/EmFP3uw2cb
@after_12 @thinkingfish @yow_conf @JoshuaKerievsky Also, I fully recognise what a giant nerd I am by knowing that bit of conference trivia.
Interesting UX challenge: you can’t just say “build something you’d like to use” when the engineers don’t have profound hearing loss. They can’t make assumptions about what users will find useful. #yow17 @xerxesb @mark_sabbatical https://t.co/NjNT33AVOJ
Internationalisation introduces more technical hurdles than you might imagine. (If you’re interested in this, @jeamesbone and @shipra_ships did a great talk at @yow_conf Connected about i18n in the @canva app.) https://t.co/jzhbeftwgR #yow17 https://t.co/52DaiMtgdF
@Mandy_Kerr I live dangerously and use conf deadlines to force me to finish talks. Yes, it causes stress, but if you wait until it’s perfect to submit, you’re going to miss out on opportunities.
If you’re at a conference, sometimes it’s fun to watch @jedws’s face during a talk. He always looks so happy to learn new things!

I did not expect to learn about handball at a tech conference… but I loved the video @smamol just showed. Strong women working together on a team to do amazing things!! #yow17 https://t.co/WQ9TQPinmg
“Professional sports” is actually all about pain management… Just like working in a startup. 😂 @smamol #yow17
Great advice for sports, work, and everything else: aim to be the worst player on the best team. You’ll learn a lot, and you’ll normalise high performance. @smamol #yow17 https://t.co/zvrMHOaoCW
@yakticus Hehe. You’ve accidentally married her off to @simonraikallen!
@zarahjutz She admits that it’s not fun. “You feel inadequate, because you are inadequate.” But you learn!
OHHHH. “Obnoxious aggression.” Probably a better name than mansplaining. That’s what it is. 👏 #yow17 https://t.co/QBcS8KL4RQ
@yakticus @simonraikallen Let’s be honest. We’d all like to marry @simonraikallen.

Sadly, if you can get paid like a software developer or paid like a teacher, most choose the former. Means we don’t have a lot of primary school teachers qualified to teach coding. #yow17 @SaraJChipps
Fascinating. @SaraJChipps found that girls would get excited by wearables but shut down when she mentioned coding. So she had to rebrand coding as customisation, or giving the device “superpowers”. #yow17 https://t.co/gbgaTqoALP
