@cypherbob I know how you feel! I feel so lucky that I at least get to help bring these amazing folks to Oz every year to share their work.
Nigel from @brisruby introducing @davefarley77’s talk on Reactive systems! (Great meetup group, incidentally.) #yow17 https://t.co/fiqXCcfJWr
Laughter as @davefarley77 puts hardware speed into context. At 1s for a clock cycle, internet from London to Oz would take 19 years. “What about the NBN?” someone yells from peanut gallery. 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/4QZbIprhvB
@mattkomarnicki @jeffpatton @yow_conf I told ya!!
It turns out single threading is hundreds of times faster than multi threading for asynchronous messaging, @davefarley77’s testing has found. Counter-intuitive but true! #yow17
A lot of developers are wary of asynchronous messaging because it feels complicated, and because most of the programming languages we’re taught on emphasise a synchronous model. @davefarley77 #yow17 https://t.co/lXtZRy0kf8
@delitescere @davefarley77 Thank you! Stupid auto correct. Deleted and corrected. 😉
Never use unbounded queues… or Bad Things Will Happen. 🔥💥 @davefarley77 #yow17 https://t.co/NTjmtcGtBL
Big takeaway: The traditional n-tiered, relational database-backed system is just not fast enough for building responsive, reactive systems today. @davefarley77 #yow17
Thanks to Nigel from @brisruby for mentioning Brisbane tech drinks on Dec. 21st. Looks like a great event! https://t.co/VuiRJuZohE #yow17
@tjridge @brisruby I will, but we’ve got our speakers dinner on. I probably can’t make it. 🙁
@CaitlinPB @tjridge just told me about it! I’d love to – but I’m at speaker dinner tomorrow night. I promise to go to one in 2018 though!
RT @shawinnes: Evolvable API… design patterns #yow17 #yow @yow_conf https://t.co/KwzJ4Ta4vC
LOL. @mamund using his experience with Australian English as an example of evolvable API patterns. No one stopped him at the border to check he had the Oz English domain model installed. 😂 #Yow17 https://t.co/ee6xbqn2a2
Messages are how humans interact with the world, says David Norman. @mamund translates that into a Request / Parse / Wait model for system interactions. #yow17 https://t.co/QLqrcU7Rt5
Most Recently Used is notion of providing the most used tools in API responses. Make it quick and easy for machines to do repetitive tasks, just like you would a human. #yow17 @mamund https://t.co/9TsJD3rART
@paul_okeeffe @allPowerde @lynnlangit Ooooh, I met some guys at @yow_conf West this year who were working on that. Great idea.

Ugh. As a human I wish all forms would accept partial submit rather than failing and forcing re-entry of all fields. #yow17 @mamund https://t.co/rBu2spDtOF
I really enjoyed @diogoclucas’s illustrations in @mamund’s #yow17 presentation! https://t.co/OyTtluQ999
RT @hannahcancode: Bonus rant about how teenage girls are amazing 💅🏻 https://t.co/59K3MwbHWG
@hannahcancode I AM SO HERE FOR THIS.
@hannahcancode @amykate_94 @Mandy_Kerr This is the one I told you about last night!
Nice high-energy intro for the post-lunch session from @David_Cook! (And a handy reminder to DEFRAG – move towards the centre of rows to make room for others!) #yow17 https://t.co/CKRoTA8qxs
If waterfall says to do all the design up front and agile says to do none, how much should you do? @simonbrown (ever the consultant) says “it depends” and “just enough.” #yow17 https://t.co/mYSPMiImEC
Uh oh. All the high frequency tweeters are in @simonbrown’s talk! 😱 #yow17
At its essence, software architecture is about technical leadership… and every team needs technical leadership. #Yow17 @simonbrown https://t.co/Ybh0DYefCB

The room broke into spontaneous applause as @simonbrown said architects “don’t need to use UML.” 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/bwwZTXpXgx

@polleyg @yow_conf Great write-up! And damn, I’m missing those doughnuts…
Excited to have Enrique from Data Science Brisbane hosting this session at #yow17! https://t.co/rwaAYixXEe https://t.co/JCu7VFSaey
This diagram of happiness from the UK definitely lines up with my experience! Winter depression + living for the weekend… #yow17 @thoughtsymmetry https://t.co/9Xqrazmwx6
YES! I hadn’t realised that @thoughtsymmetry’s talk would continue #yow17 theme of making the world a better place. Using ML to identify scenic places is fun, but designing healthier cities that ppl what to live in is super exciting! https://t.co/JlFgoj1ABq
@diogoclucas @mamund Oooh, I’ll keep that in mind when I do my next talk! Perhaps I can barter some custom knitting in exchange. 😂
AI is a loaded term that @yakticus prefers not to use to describe her work, since it means different things to different people. “But it’s really handy to put in a talk title to get people to attend!” 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/PVMHaGsKYi
YES. Why don’t I have a robot butler in my house already? (Sidenote: I ❤️ that @yakticus used a butler and not a maid. Fight the normalisation of default-“female” digital assistants!) 🤖 #yow17 https://t.co/pTqsNGzp8T
Loving how @yakticus smoothly segued from the practical concerns of a theoretical robot butler to how reinforcement learning with a deep neural network would work. #yow17 https://t.co/gfImApJO6A
To my surprise, @yakticus has a mathematical function for surprise. 😳 #yow17 https://t.co/n552MKl7xQ
New environment models allow training of autonomous agents with more than just vision (pixels) and take information from other senses too. Neat! @yakticus #yow17 https://t.co/s4gpbq4ujk
. @jennifermarsman got an EEG headset to live out her dream of being Jean Grey. Getting Microsoft to pay for it was just the icing on the cake. 😂👏 #yow17 https://t.co/cq1oqtY4PA
Another talk with applications to make the world a better place! @jennifermarsman says EEG devices can allow differently-abled people to control wheelchairs, control their homes, etc. #yow17 https://t.co/7AjEjU709P

“Who here has a background in machine learning?” Slow pan by me, @Mandy_Kerr, and @amykate_94 to @yakticus, who is raising her hand. “Am I the only one?!” 😂 #yow17
This Azure ML algorithm cheat sheet is legit useful – I’ve heard a lot of these terms before but had no idea what they were used for and what advantages they have. @jennifermarsman #yow17 https://t.co/EK6t9WFGD0

@amykate_94 The iPhone 8 is at 38%, so I’ll concede that one to you!
@mamund @VirginAustralia @apiacademy @Meetup @yow_conf Have a great flight! See you in a few days.
Architecture diagrams are not engineering. Processes are not engineering. Those are tools. @davefarley77 #yow17

Great closing note from @davefarley77: Be engineers! (And dudes, don’t assume a woman isn’t one, even if she happens to be wearing a conference team shirt. 😉) #yow17 https://t.co/00fItyv957
RT @marlousteh: Landed back on Sydney soil with this lovely bunch! Ready for @yow_conf workshops in the next days! Get your brains cracking…
@AndrewADavidson @davefarley77 Well, his entire talk was about moving reclaiming software engineering and moving it away from the “craftsmanship” phase it’s in now.
@davefarley77 I fear my tweet is going to end up giving you fodder for the next iteration of the talk. 🙂
@lindaliukas @yow_conf We’re so glad you’re here! Can’t wait to see it.
@TheLokeshwaran @viktorklang @davefarley77 It won’t be up for several weeks. He’s still got one more city to go on this tour. 🙂
@Ducky_Tape @linuxconfau I don’t think he’s submitted. 😂
Managed to find someone wearing a @yow_conf 2012 shirt yesterday – thanks Jim Hogan! I should start awarding a prize to whoever wears the oldest one in each city. 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/8907nPP9GY
@kakaCharlotte @jeffpatton Have fun Charlotte!!
@brianleroux I… want to know the context of you sharing that. 😂
RT @sabel25: Huge thanks to @tjridge for encouraging me to apply for a YOW diversity ticket. Amazing first day 👍 @yow_conf #Yow17

I’m so thrilled to have @lindaliukas on stage at #yow17. I’m inspired already!! https://t.co/8Y3XqIc9oa
@NicoleWill100 @mikefagan_ibc I’m busy with this year’s Easter Show entry, so it’ll be quite a while!
Why aren’t people telling stories about software? Stories are how we make sense of the world. @lindaliukas created a little girl named Ruby to teach kids how to talk to computers. #yow17 https://t.co/P0n78mllt4
