@chrisdoble @mcallana @dibblego @daveathomas Yeah, @Errorific told me he preferred that one too. But this one supposedly has Fonzie in it? And I’m all about that. ๐Ÿ‘


Fun visit with some of the tech team at @Tatts_Group this morning. I *so* wanted to push the big red button… https://t.co/sZ5go6zMiP


I was happy to see free wifi on @QueenslandRail train to Brisbane airport… and then hit the data limit within 5 min. ๐Ÿ˜ https://t.co/SJo5i51jf1


@QueenslandRail Wasn’t watching video or anything like that. Literally opened Twitter and clicked like 5 links. This is ridiculous.

RT @SydTechLeaders: Come by our table at #webdirections and get a #sydtechleaders sticker. https://t.co/tVzvMvUSDH


Bye Brisbane! See you again in a few weeks for YOW! ๐Ÿ‘‹ https://t.co/GJESMq5lPh https://t.co/gc1X6niEfM


@the_nathanjones @QueenslandRail Honestly, 20MB should be plenty. I suspect clicking on a link to a news site was the culprit. It was just shocking how quickly I hit limit.


RT @JedWatson: Super proud of our @reactsydney sticker collection at #wds17 #yes https://t.co/8odLMceyyW


@afcowie Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜Š


Massive crowd at Sydney’s #yownight at @SafetyCultureHQ to hear @LeeRyanCampbell talk about architecting your app for success & longetivity. https://t.co/cix9adLgf4


@zarahjutz WANNNNTTTTTTTT


A single repo rapidly turns into the office kitchen: everybody uses it, but nobody looks after it. @LeeRyanCampbell #yownight


Standard “my first MVC project” quickly takes you from “my little corner to play in” to “warehouse superstore.” Focus is diluted. #yownight https://t.co/3goFVactQ9


Useful metric for senior developers: how long would it take a grad to understand your code? #yownight @LeeRyanCampbell https://t.co/AxTvdDklFi


Instead of reuse being a goal, aim for encapsulation. (Left pad rears its ugly head again…) ๐Ÿ˜‚ @LeeRyanCampbell #yownight


Uber driver accepted job, called me to ask where I was and where I was going, and then cancelled. WTF. Rage level: 11. ๐Ÿ˜ก


I knew I should’ve just ridden my bike.


@MelissaKaulfuss I was so mad I actually tried ringing him back, but the number doesn’t accept incoming calls.


@friendlyunit Unfortunately once they cancelled, I couldn’t see the driver details anymore to report them.

Ooh, @feraldata just reminded me that I need to see the new Blade Runner this weekend. #summit17 https://t.co/Wye5XVg3lY


@halans @feraldata Knitting with wire, in fact. Because… tech. ๐Ÿค“ #summit17 #wds17
