Where’s the best cafe in @surry_hills with wifi to get some work done? @johnallsopp @developerjack


Having a debate with @the_snook. Do any of these emoji seem a little racist to you? If so – why? https://t.co/kI2SLnKdCf


@piecritic Is that a yes?


@piecritic Yeah, I associated it with the old Dr. Seuss/Bugs Bunny WWII-era propaganda. Also Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.


@piecritic But I’m wondering if anyone under 30 would have that association. I reckon for younger generation, they might think of Revenge of the Nerds.


Me: WTF is in my water? Oh. Artisanal charcoal. 😐 Seriously. https://t.co/0uKTazSjo9


My cold brew came with accoutrements. I *think* they’re bits of chocolate? https://t.co/V4PcKiRx2I https://t.co/v07W9DSqpT


It’s cocoa nibs. There are different condiments for different coffees. (Surry Hills takes this stuff seriously.)


@Alegrya THEY ARE!


@soxyface @1001011k I have long had a dream to knit some of the data visualisations here! https://t.co/Qy8aLfSU4A


@trustheath That’s what I was thinking. But I’m not sure if anybody < 30 would recognise it…


@trustheath Oh, I think they still see a stereotype. It’s just “Revenge of the Nerds” instead of racist!


@candeira @the_snook Yeah, same. Also WWII-era Bugs Bunny propaganda. But would ppl < 30 know those references? I’m not sure.


@joshduck @the_snook CANNOT UNSEE. THANKS JOSH.


@gilmae @the_snook Oof. I didn’t even think about the yellow.


Great little video from @yow_conf @YOWLambdaJam two weeks ago! Nice cameo by some of the @canva team too. 🙂 https://t.co/VWrfoSADWQ


RT @johnallsopp: Sydney Front End Devs, this event at @canva next week is well worth thinking about

One advantage of containers is that it forces you to think about the FENCE – what’s inside the boundary, how you organise. #ContainerCamp https://t.co/CVd8OVdnVR


Goal of orchestration – make it no more 💵 to run O(N) machines than O(1). (Talking human cost, not CPU, etc.) #containercamp
