RT @MissAmyTobey: Slack DM networks would be a fascinating view of org structure


@drzax I’d say no. “Kris” is not a nickname for “Kristine.” (This is where my references to “the Snook” confuse people, because it is in fact his name.)


New dream: retire from tech industry and spend all day here at UTS textile lab. https://t.co/Tpig1D7YkQ


Trying to decide between these two legends’ talks. “Mine doesn’t mention TypeScript,” says @IngaPflaumer. SOLD. (Sorry @hannahcancode.) 👩🏼‍💻 #dddsydney https://t.co/c5sKUv6qPh


@MissAmyTobey @mootpointer In my experience, the real org health metric would be the number of times “Moving to Whatsapp…” gets posted in your company chat app.


Selfie with our keynote speaker @ButenkoMe during the tea break. Incidentally, you should volunteer to help at @MusesCodeJSSyd! (Yes, even men.) I’ve done it and it’s awesome. #dddsydney https://t.co/9MCOcNP18W


This escalated quickly. (It’s been 20+ years since I studied calculus.) 😳 #dddsydney https://t.co/OeAx2YrtIR


@robdmoore I know, but I can’t help think of this… https://t.co/LtBYgjDtto


About to kick off @IngaPflaumer’s session! And hey, @BugHunterSam is live-streaming here: https://t.co/K67iQ5Vc52 #dddsydney https://t.co/4RjPB7Ddf3


RT @DrJosh9000: Coming up, the talk I came here for #DDDSydney https://t.co/LlGpEfP6UZ


“Teach girls bravery, not perfection.” TED talk recommended by @IngaPflaumer – bookmarking for later. #dddsydney https://t.co/5DTDEeollo https://t.co/1unCNdrqzW


“If you can’t explain your idea to your team with 7 boxes and 8 arrows, it’s too complicated.” @IngaPflaumer on working with junior devs (or anybody, really.) #dddsydney


Duelling selfies with @MichelePlayfair from @yow_conf at #dddsydney… https://t.co/fhOLEvvaY5


For immediate press release: my new personal brand is “Kris Magenta,” which is a portmanteau of MAGical + mENTAl, which I feel truly captures the essense of me. 😜 #gentletroll https://t.co/9ojbd4935e


@Amys_Kapers To make you think. And it worked, see? 🤓


@mage0r @chixors Move to Sydney and we shall set up a Club and this will be our Clubhouse!


@robdcrowley You’re all so very serious about it! I had to tease a bit. 😉


@frankarr I thought you’d like that. 😂


Listening to @kjacobsen talking about banks and security, and he just used the phrase “person-in-the-middle” attack. I like this. 👏 #dddsydney https://t.co/jipg0oOkU8


The fear of getting a security disclosure tweet like these from @briankrebs keeps people like @kjacobsen awake at night. What’s the solution? security.txt #dddsydney https://t.co/Vjj1ccWlGT


Machine learning is really easy to learn… if you know what to learn. Refreshing honesty from @jernej_kavka, who struggled until he found https://t.co/nj3FZkgxs6. #dddsydney https://t.co/I9j9YSvH9h


Final speaker is @meliss_houghton on Imposter Syndrome – such an important topic! #dddsydney https://t.co/fMkzuGUuI5


RT @MichelePlayfair: “When I was asked to do the locknote at #dddsydney I thought: Why me? I thought it might be a prank.” – Yes you did lo…


Totally agree with having a work journal. It’s something I recommend to everyone on my team. I also keep a “good stuff” file for compliments and nice feedback. Reflecting back on these is so helpful when you doubt yourself! @meliss_houghton #dddSydney https://t.co/NzCB0zcufG


Catch me soon on my critically-acclaimed limited reality series “A Little Bit Kris.” LA LA LALALALALA! 🎵❤️ (The Snook is home and he bought me a present.) https://t.co/fkyWCmwKjK https://t.co/T2pcpf6WDi
