If you’re enjoying Agustinus’s #awssummit demo of @carsales’s cool car recognition app, he’s giving a tech talk on it next month at #yowdata! 🚗 https://t.co/Pz1AOHqAo8 @yow_conf https://t.co/lGZ3XtyJ81

AV dramas are fun! 🙃


After some emergency AV work, out second speaker Roaan Vos from @Atlassian is now telling us about their journey to AWS. #yownight https://t.co/S63DBlvUaH


@minxdragon If I knew how to swear in Norwegian, I totally would.


Hearing about how @Atlassian uses its Micros platform to standardise the way they use @awscloud and deploy new services. #yownight https://t.co/dufXwJ1Onh


With over 1400 services on @awscloud, @Atlassian built an internal tool called Microscope to help manage them. #yownight https://t.co/nWrRzvGuO7


RT @melindafentonsm: #yownight Business Agility Conference looking for speakers @web_goddess https://t.co/3xZ8fDMvtA


Final speaker of the night – @drewfirment from @acloudguru telling us why Alexa is the gateway to Serverless! #yownight https://t.co/DJKWWniduP


Great reason to build an Alexa skill – SWAG! @awscloud are giving away a t-shirt to folks who build new skills. #yownight https://t.co/qIFnzYcygB


Nice shout outs to @swardley during @drewfirment’s #yownight talk! https://t.co/5Ppy7oVQbv


Bonus points to @drewfirment for using @yow_conf in his Alexa demo skill code! “Hey Alexa, give me a YOW! fact!” #yownight https://t.co/zosnUDhqFX


@yow_conf @drewfirment If you zoom in, there are a couple facts in the code! He didn’t actually demo it – way too noisy here. 🙁

*cough* If you want to learn more about this, we have an extremely relevant tech talk at #yowdata next month from @notsolonecoder. 😉🚌@yow_conf https://t.co/HSgyH6dS2j https://t.co/vYEs4xkdHa


@MxRozen More like downside of being from a small rural town and being FB friends with a lot of non-tech savvy folks, I suspect. 🙁


@rosepowell If I hear you use the phrase “hockey stick growth” then we can’t be friends anymore.


My cultural tastes are most similar to an upper class woman, aged 25-39, with a undergraduate education. A SNOB IS ME. https://t.co/KVXgyyZ9NA via @ABCNews


@abcnews I think it’s because I took too much pleasure in clicking this one: https://t.co/4DaI4Skxto


@gilmae @abcnews @drkyliesmith This part was particularly painful. 😂 (I didn’t say never, survey!) https://t.co/z8nSoDnL9t


@dddsydney @slace If you need help, I’m happy to volunteer!


@mmastertheone @abcnews Is she wearing rubber gloves with an evening gown?! 😂


@LapTop006 @abcnews I was shamed for not reading more Aussie authors. Really should rectify that.


@mmastertheone @abcnews As a cultured upper-class person, clearly I have no experience with that. 😜
