@glasnt @stmgoods Nope. Only been on 3 days though – will monitor.


Getting hyped for my talk at @pivotallabs in an hour. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŸ https://t.co/Yaq2i1Sq5v

@Gaohmee How about a bottle of melatonin? ๐Ÿ™‚


Really happy to see this! Well done @Make and congrats to @RealSexyCyborg. ๐Ÿ‘ https://t.co/rtnSw3aulh


Literally three hours ago I told a crowd of folks at #sydtechtalks to brace themselves for the barrage of Internet of Stupid Things for Rich People coming from CES… and I still never would’ve predicted this. ๐Ÿ™„ https://t.co/deUNu06j8B


@melissa_loh The robot dances better than I do. ๐Ÿ˜†


@mmastertheone I will have myself some WarGames, if no one else wants it. ๐Ÿ™‚


@slyall Got really excited until I remembered you’re scheduled at the same time as Art + Tech. ๐Ÿ˜ญ


@mmastertheone Ha, that’s assuming I’ll make it. ๐Ÿ˜› I’ll let you know…


@slyall LOL. Likewise! ๐Ÿ™ƒ


@i386 @canva Same. โค๏ธ


@emd3737 Sending to Rodd immediately. He โค๏ธ’s lemurs. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Scored a last minute spot at #techsharesydney tonight to learn about Kafka from @matt_howlett from @confluentinc! Thanks @ING_Aust for hosting. https://t.co/iDAt805SBn


@hannahcancode There are a handful of women. They’re just sitting behind me closer to the exit. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Some interesting discussion of limits as pertains to Kafka. 100 brokers/2B messages a day is “small”; LinkedIn does a trillion. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ #techsharesydney @matt_howlett @OCTODownUnder https://t.co/PiuGz84GDg


@Xavier_Ho Not that type of messages. ๐Ÿ˜‚


When to use Kafka? It’s simply a question of scalability: you have lots of data, or your organisation/architecture is very complex. @matt_howlett @confluentinc @OCTODownUnder #TechShare #techsharesydney https://t.co/OaGy9ehBvO


“You can think of Kafka as a commit log for your entire organisation.” Pithy! @matt_howlett @confluentinc @OCTODownUnder #TechShare #techsharesydney https://t.co/4ST3W2oB7E


@mattallen @perrynfowler @madlep @joneaves It practically does.


Sneak peek of KSQL (in developer preview) – allows you to simply join two Kafka streams together into a new long-running stream. #TechShare #techsharesydney https://t.co/dVtgsKyMyZ


“Data systems are about exposing data. Services are about hiding it.” @matt_howlett suggests we look up The Data Dichotomy to learn more about this… @confluentinc #TechShare #techsharesydney


RT @nicolarushton: Excited to do a mini workshop on talking to customers at the next #leanstartupsyd ! https://t.co/ZCc7tGfS5H


Next up – @nicolasguignard and Arthur Baudry from @OCTODownUnder talking about reporting with Spark. #TechShare #techsharesydney https://t.co/AxeSdsqRpd


Oh shit. https://t.co/lIYRgco4uN


@JennaGuillaume Same thing with drinking milk straight from the jug.


FitNesse – sort of like a wiki that runs acceptance tests; allows collaboration because BAs can write requirements directly in it. Interesting! https://t.co/v1Pz6QNbou @OCTODownUnder #TechShare #techsharesydney https://t.co/JepLjdGEAb


@diversionary You left out Roald Dahl minutia.


RT @trib: If you work more than a reasonable 36-38 hour week, you have a problem with your perspective on work or in understanding the sizeโ€ฆ


@JennaGuillaume It’s a long slow burn but so so worth it.


@gdcfpday Wait! I need to review with venue yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚


@gdcfpday Heh. We’re almost ready. Tomorrow at the latest!


The accomplishment I feel at getting to 20 (in Twenty) on a moving bus is somewhat diminished by the accompanying nausea. ๐Ÿคข

@the_patima HELLS YEAH! Congratulations!!


@thejameskyle A 20. Not 20 20s. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Yay @stringy! She’s a damn fine knitter too. ๐Ÿ™‚ https://t.co/r6jfnT1wnS


No, not quite! Sydney will be up tomorrow. We jumped the gun a little bit. ๐Ÿ™‚ @gdcfpday https://t.co/vYXSOdvkHS


@Mandy_Kerr @gdcfpday YAY! ๐Ÿ’ƒ


@stringy @Mandy_Kerr @the_patima Sidenote: That is *exactly* how I used to smile as a kid, thinking that it was SUPER BEAUTIFUL to curl your upper lip under to show all your teeth. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ


@TheRealBnut @hannahcancode Well, we’ll be seeing each other in 2 weeks for LCA… so whichever one of us sees Andrew first, grab both! Deal? (And thanks @TheRealBnut!)

โ€œConfessions of a Recovering Jerk Programmerโ€ by @aprilwensel https://t.co/OlikUQuVVQ – I identified so. much. with. this.


@aprilwensel It also provides a perfect example of “contempt culture,” a term I learned from @aurynn at LCA last year and mentioned in my #sydtechtalks presentation yesterday. (More: https://t.co/cgNARiM5dH)
