@FakeSamRitchie Yay! See you tomorrow

*deep breath* I just deleted Twenty from my phone. It was the most addictive game I’ve ever played. I miss it already. https://t.co/EuuBNtGozf https://t.co/rIFS2z3RyQ


@randomknits I looked up the specs. Holy shit. That’s awesome.


@falican It goes to 30. That’s pretty much the main thing. I didn’t play many of the other versions.


@gilmae I think Rodd was on the verge of citing it as grounds for divorce.


I have just committed to giving a talk about my first serverless project in three weeks… which means I now have a deadline to actually finish the thing. 😳


@malcolmsheridan I have a slightly more involved project in mind… just needed a kick to get going. But that’s a decent backup option. 😂


@The_McJones Blindly committing to things and then panicking over potential embarrassment is the only way I get anything done.

@lightningdb @SydTechLeaders Both.

@mmastertheone FRICKING AWESOME


RT @gilmae: I think @tacticalgrace may have wrecked me, but it is a good wrecked. #ylj18


RT @damncabbage: Paging the #ylj18 crowd: the regular FP-Syd meetup is on this Wednesday evening, with details+signup here: https://t.co/K6…


@damncabbage Have made a note to mention it during the intros tomorrow! 👍


Okay, this has been breaking my brain, but I reckon I worked out how she did it. I’m guessing a LOT of paper piecing was involved. 😳 https://t.co/gNVaAMw8LS


@yow_conf Is that @GeoffreyHuntley I see??


At some point, dinner with #ylj18 speakers turns into a meeting of super villains…


RT @rossdawson: NEW: The only good reason to speak… is to change people

If you are speaking to an audience, consider your purpose and re…


@jedws It does sometimes feel a little like this. 😂 https://t.co/kArCQWv74V


RT @sehnaoui: Mind blown. https://t.co/gpRencJbAl


@minxdragon You do! You’ve definitely inspired me. ❤️


My dessert was kinda fancy. https://t.co/fqj7Yebsed https://t.co/70cJ9aSFFo


@starbuxman @projectriff It’s just for a local meetup! I will definitely look into Riff though…


Way to go @SafetyCultureHQ! 👏 https://t.co/o4qPc99oiB


It’s nice when the sponsor talk is from an engineer! @afcowie on behalf of @CommBank with a nice thank you to the FP community. #ylj18 https://t.co/eBJHksWCqt


Looking forward to learning about category theory from @DrEugeniaCheng! (Flashbacks to some of @davidhearnden’s memorable @CanvaTech brown bags…) #ylj18 https://t.co/UUApEcKaaz


Flexibility of thinking is one of the most important parts of intelligence, and a lot of the problems of the world could be solved if people used more of it. #ylj18 @DrEugeniaCheng


Using category theory to assess privilege. 👏👏👏 @DrEugeniaCheng #ylj18 https://t.co/osZVDJd1YX


“All equations are lies! … This is sort of click bait.” 😂 #ylj18 @DrEugeniaCheng https://t.co/WstErMUoeS


Category theory as a tool for empathy. We should try every now and then to consider different categories where we are (or aren’t) at the top. 👏 #ylj18 @DrEugeniaCheng https://t.co/0NxAMnampk


@Paul_Bone @TacticalGrace No live stream unfortunately. But all the videos will go up in the coming weeks!


Identifying hard with @DrEugeniaCheng’s talk – but I had to make a small correction to this one. 😂 #ylj18 https://t.co/AKO7sFaqsd

1. Everything should be understood in context

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
