If you’re suffering from #AWSSummit FOMO, don’t forget there’s an AWS-YOW! crossover meetup on Thursday after the closing. Still some tickets left… https://t.co/g3IHdcoH5g


@jonoabroad @yow_conf Which one? Our December confs feature child care, and there are sometimes kids at our other events. @unixbigot took his 10yo to a Night on her birthday, IIRC. 😂


@unixbigot Maybe it’s the same. 😳


Intros happening at @GGDSydney! I miss this meetup. ❤️ #ggdsyd https://t.co/i42DEgDiFe


Learning about user experience and human vision from @sepide. As someone who is blind as a bat without my specs, this is relevant to my interests! #ggdsyd @GGDSydney 🤓 https://t.co/NsmSvDrwzI


Because human vision is so attuned to motion, lots of apps use it to draw your attention to things you might otherwise miss. (Similarly, Damian Conway advises animating your code samples in tech talks to make it easier for attendees to follow!) #ggdsyd @GGDSydney https://t.co/Jtjxpo0j8L


Next talk: fellow Yank transplant @nafisa13 telling us how she fosters creativity and innovation even within big corporates. #ggdsyd @GGDSydney https://t.co/FSwdKnhKbz


Yay! Last talk is my friend @currawongwhsper talking about art, food, and tech. 👏 #ggdsyd @GGDSydney https://t.co/gAXQzTicct


@evanderkoogh Same. Thanks for the prompt!


RT @richard_littler: I felt compelled to create a thread of famous people modelling for knitting patterns.

@msharp Did you get one on a wheelie thing?


@msharp Nice work!


Always fun to open the App Store and see my @canva friends on there! ❤️ @themaninblue @nicwinton @TheRealBnut @kouky @sebastiangrail @shipra_ships https://t.co/qVIWOFWUCX


If you want a crash course in all things machine learning, this is a good way to get it! https://t.co/Xz2j948GBx


Got very lucky with my seat for the #AWSSummit. (I see what you meant about that stage, @developerjack!) 😍 https://t.co/uIensk1SZy


Happened to spot a familiar face on my way in! @glenngillen #AWSSummit https://t.co/zOFUi2EGz2


Over 4000 new AWS features released in the last 6 years… 😳 #AWSSummit https://t.co/9fH9jGaaro


Nice shout-out to the Marriage Equality push. I still think the survey was stupid, but I’m glad that AWS were involved in making it run more smoothly. #AWSSummit https://t.co/Q8pezgcfon


Comparison of “nameless” cloud vendors from @glenngore. 😂 The orange one is way bigger than the others! #AWSSummit https://t.co/f8U33nIQkR


Want to hear more from @glenngore? He’s speaking tomorrow night at the joint AWS-YOW! Meetup at the nearby Hard Rock Cafe! #AWSSummit @yow_conf https://t.co/g3IHdcoH5g https://t.co/svuctg6LxS


YAY! And now my old colleagues @canva getting a shout out at the #AWSSummit. 😍 🦄 https://t.co/RyPgRVCk6N


65% of the Silicon Valley founders are foreign-born. Countries that seek to limit skilled technical migration are shooting themselves in the foot. @dpetre from @airtreevc throwing shade at the Oz government to much applause! #AWSSummit
