RT @yow_conf: Wake up, wake up, Perth! It’s #yowwest Day 1! Don’t forget to bring your device chargers!
RT @lyynx: #yowwest selfie https://t.co/bAyXhWrJSR
RT @unixbigot: Ladies and Gentlemen, Charge Your Clickers. #yowwest is go.
Andy Weir from @Bankwest talking about why events like #yowwest are important for Aussie tech companies. It’s all about being competitive. https://t.co/16rkXdRhXp
❤️ the enthusiasm of the awesome #yowwest volunteers! https://t.co/mlUgQjIPob
“Nobody is going to save you. It’s up to every organisation to face up to the disruption coming in your industry.” #yowwest
I’m so excited for @Doctor_Astro’s keynote on Mars exploration! (I even dressed up for it especially.) 🚀 #yowwest https://t.co/2yzJM37cue
@cbetta @yow_conf Nobody bothers to read the program! 😂
Why go to Mars? Well, the temp on Venus is about the same as the self-cleaning function on your oven. 😂☀️🔥 @Doctor_Astro #yowwest https://t.co/H1j30do0zd
@webdirections @Doctor_Astro Oh, the Space Geek love is strong in this room!
If you can’t be at #yowwest today, you should follow @unixbigot for a recap of *everything*. (Except his own talk, I hope!)
After two Mars mission failures due to unit conversion errors, NASA now uses metric for everything. 😂#yowwest https://t.co/VsP1VFJKK2
Heh. @Doctor_Astro did recon at Perth Zoo yesterday so she could relate rover sizes to familiar local fauna. #yowwest https://t.co/oi6P8bCVmT
TFW you’re hearing about accuracy of The Martian from a real life astrophysicist. 😲 (@Doctor_Astro says it was mostly good!) #yowwest
Wow. Modern smartphones have way more computing power than rovers, due to intense radiation shielding needed on Mars. #yowwest
Does NASA use Agile? Not really – it’s hard to iterate when your only full test happens as the thing is plummeting to Mars! #yowwest https://t.co/0cTTV6348O
@glasnt It’s an accurate illustration of some of the Agile teams I’ve been on. 😂
@unixbigot They should’ve had it check in on Swarm too. 😂
News flash! If you go to Mars, you’re gonna be a vegetarian. 😁🌽🥔 @Doctor_Astro #yowwest https://t.co/k0EseUFhjw
@betterbomb @Doctor_Astro I know – have read it and seen lots of interviews with author Andy.
IoT doesn’t intrinsically suck – 90% of everything sucks! Short product cycles and fragmentation don’t help though. @unixbigot #yowwest https://t.co/gXFsOM18NR
Sometimes it takes losing 10% of your stock price to motivate a company to put out a security patch. 😲 #yowwest @unixbigot https://t.co/kxLZRqLA3f
Pro tip from @unixbigot: Fing can help you catalog and monitor the devices on your network. https://t.co/FnGFzlPs5C #yowwest
The 5 Ages of IT, according to @unixbigot. Pretty much everything is a computer now. #yowwest https://t.co/K3qdYAXaQ4

“If I can give you one bit of advice today: Don’t. Embed. Shell scripts.” @unixbigot #yowwest
Ack! Five months later, and @unclebobmartin is still stalking me at @yow_conf events. 😂 #yowwest https://t.co/AnaaUX47EB

Great energy from @AshleyAitken as he kicks off his talk on Lean Startup for developers. #yowwest https://t.co/ZWZTT890c9
Incremental innovation improves; disruptive changes the business model; but radical innovation changes the MEANING #yowwest https://t.co/m4J7w2ndG3
997/1000 startups fail – not repeatable, viable, scalable, and customers don’t want! All of which means NO 💰. #yowwest @AshleyAitken https://t.co/Vgws696Anj
The question for startups is not CAN you build it, but SHOULD you. Now why does that advice feel familiar… 😂 @AshleyAitken #yowwest https://t.co/Hvrn7WCYjs
Startups are in Search mode – goal is to find business model. Only then can they evolve into big company in Execution mode. #yowwest https://t.co/sn82Gn6N1l
#1 advice for people working in startups – GET OUT OF THE BUILDING. Preferably close enough to see pupils dilate when you talk! 😳#yowwest
As dev in a Lean startup, don’t focus on scaling and “shiny things”. Instead it’s all about validated learning. #yowwest @AshleyAitken https://t.co/LkulXz9hYD
I liked the Wizard of Oz analogy – shiny front end, but everything behind the curtain is manual and hidden. #yowwest https://t.co/OkAWwPsDIQ
I know from experience what a great teacher @notsolonecoder is, so I’m excited to learn about consistency from her! #yowwest https://t.co/idXkCNOIDJ
@evanderkoogh @bodil @decadentdickens Wrong Katie Bell! You mean @notsolonecoder 😂
Developers like consistency guarantees. It makes your life easier, so Google developed Spanner to handle offload a lot of that. #yowwest https://t.co/jTVgp4JBB1
Strongly amused that this is the slide @notsolonecoder used to represent “The Future”. 😹 #yowwest https://t.co/qjUHVyumEO
Timestamps alone are not enough to guarantee linearisation of your data transactions. Why? Clock drift. #yowwest https://t.co/yOHAhTHC8w
“I’m not a distributed systems expert but I’m gonna show example things we did that made us 💰” @philiplaureano has our attention! #yowwest https://t.co/xzkypnGyqb
“You know who you remind me of?” – @lyynx
I know. I get that a lot. 😂 https://t.co/yE6lOe4rYs
Not just theory – @philiplaureano is showing (dummy) code examples of how Domain achieved consistency in clickstream event data. #yowwest https://t.co/iM6YmV5IRZ
@malcolmsheridan @philiplaureano To be fair, he did admit as much during the talk. It was just an example.
RT @marlousteh: @yow_conf We stuck ours here 😂😂😂 #yowwest #tech #innovation #fun @web_goddess https://t.co/Kbe9uzADke
I thought having two Katie’s was confusing enough! 😂 https://t.co/dgbL7mxDYu
“I don’t care about Docker or Ansible, and I sure as hell don’t care about my Windows Server.” Focus on your core business. @RhysC #yowwest https://t.co/D1VZePCYTv
How to code in the cloud? Don’t just write random little bits in AWS Console and glue together. @RhysC will show us the right way! #yowwest https://t.co/YPXrmLH5JK
Code is happening! @RhysC narrating his recorded real-time demo of creating a new serverless service. #yowwest https://t.co/8tntDW2fUN
GitHub + AWS + Slack = working build server in < 30 minutes! #yowwest @RhysC https://t.co/SNf6x5LNCI

Rob Ciolli knows his audience – using a Beer example in his talk about Rx in the Real World! #yowwest 🍺 https://t.co/Eppbv31bNx
“What did we think of that? Not much. Let’s try again and be HEAPS more Reactive.” 😂 #yowwest
@Brett_Jay Where can I invest? 😂
Starting to get suspicious that Rob is fishing for sponsorship by @FeralBrewing in his #yowwest tech talk. 😂 https://t.co/NpzqUz3BtM
“@Doctor_Astro puts shit on Mars! How am I supposed to compete with that? ‘I can make a website responsive’?” – @malarkey 😂 #yowwest https://t.co/A5H0EB0P2e
Is it important if a style guide is ugly, as long as it has the information? Andy says YES. Beauty complements functionality. #yowwest https://t.co/WlQIzmiWDo

Kind of neat that we started and ended the day at #yowwest talking about NASA! https://t.co/OWoso0wHo4
One way of testing font choices: make a simple HTML page with them and check on various devices to determine min/max sizes. #yowwest

Style guides can be a great place to try out shiny new tech like Flex box and grids, without expectation of browser support. #yowwest
@unixbigot EXACTLY. Perfect analogy!

@notsolonecoder Sweet, be there very soon!!
@Malarkey @yow_conf @SydCSS We’ll miss you!
