Mentioned to the Snook that I figured out Google Mini could be powered off USB, so I had it set up in my office. 5 seconds later I hear his disembodied voice from it: “GET BACK TO WORK.” 😂
Gave my first keynote at a tech conference. Travelled to Hong Kong and Singapore by myself. Learned to solder. Replaced a tire tube on my bicycle. 🙂 https://t.co/X1GQVkGXPl
Oh, and saw bears in Yellowstone and witnessed a total solar eclipse!
I finished a new shirt last night! “It’s Not a Bug; It’s a Feature.” 😂🐞 Hacked version of @ColettePatterns Sorbetto. https://t.co/qTl4TyFwWk https://t.co/bolpsURmQr
I’ve actually knitted at the SCG during a New Years Ashes test match, and I still think that’s a shitty, sexist thing to say. https://t.co/9ebtOhdZq5

@twasink You clearly haven’t been to Thursday night pub knitting with my crew.
@twasink For me, it’s less about motor skill impairment and more to do with knitting patterns with ginormous charts that are difficult to follow while participating in conversation.

Did we stay to see the gig?
We did not. 😂 https://t.co/xbIfmlnwSX https://t.co/BDRZhJKqst
@tjbyte Yeah. I wonder what genre they are…
@FourRedShoes It’s okay, but frankly hasn’t struck me as much better than Maccas!
@fox I get paid to do it, and I still feel largely like you do. There is very little outside recognition of the emotional labour involved in what we do. It’s exhausting and mostly thankless.
@hannahcancode @DrJosh9000 Verified cute!
@darthted I’m sure they were!
@MelissaKaulfuss @fox My subtweet yesterday about wasting hours trying to impress shitty dudes was mainly about the stress of worrying whether this work – which I enjoy – is ultimately going to hurt my career prospects. Ugh. It sucks.
Given that I spent 15 minutes today rage-googling how to disable autoplay JWPlayer videos, I have some guesses. https://t.co/6i8ep0tUOp
@AshKyd @fox The folks who aren’t getting paid need support more than I do. Sponsor their events! Put your hand up to volunteer.

Just realised this is a fairly succinct explanation for what my role mostly came to be at Canva. Handy. Saving for future reference. https://t.co/FIgaOjZA59
@hannahcancode Please do! We need more stories of good stuff that happened in 2017. 🙂
@joneaves Interesting. Obviously we each only have our own experiences to go by here. I suspect you’re going to be the outlier among my replies though…
RT @MsAmandaDean: @web_goddess To me, there is a slow move in some areas where it isn’t enough to be a gifted developer, tester etc, if you…
RT @mattallen: @web_goddess Soft vs hard is bullshit.
You can learn to code, you can’t unlearn being an asshole.
Problem is, most places…
@zarahjutz @UniversalORL Oh gosh, that sucks!
