A recruiter spammed me this morning about a frontend web dev job. Me: “I haven’t been a dev for like 10 years. Why did you email me?”


Him: “Since 2002 we had you marked as a Web Developer living in Newtown”. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. This is a Bad Recruiter.


@the_patima @webdirections YAYYYY! Let me know how long you’re here. Maybe we could do a quick social @GGDSydney meetup??

Your pipeline is invalid.


@the_patima @webdirections @GGDSydney Gahhh. I think I’m going to be in Brisbane that night for a YOW Night. 😭


@the_patima @webdirections @GGDSydney Not sure yet – literally just confirming today. I will def be at some part of @webdirections though on behalf of @SydTechLeaders!


@themaninblue Before I saw your text, I honestly thought that was the latest gaming console.


Also, the job he was advertising was in Richmond, Victoria. I mean, WTF.


@themaninblue I am stealing all those names when I open my cake gaming console pop-up bakery.


I am now in separate Slack channels for the Brisbane, Perth, and Newcastle tech communities. Any others in AU I should know about??


@damienpbuckley Yep. I just found out about it last night: https://t.co/5KA9zdiy5r


@the_patima Oh! I’m in View Source. I didn’t realise it was Melbourne-based. 😂


@net_hues Different accounts on Slack, the chat platform.


Bye bye Brisbane! See you again (very) soon. (at @BrisbaneAirport Domestic Terminal in Brisbane Airport, QLD) https://t.co/XXvfXnO4V5
