@gilmae I’m going to have to find a clip and make Alexa play it when he turns the AC on.


Learning all about blockchain from Priyanka. She’s doing such a great job!! #ggdsyd https://t.co/0tD9KI9u0m


I have honestly learned more about blockchain and Bitcoin from Priyanka’s talk than any other this year! #ggdsyd https://t.co/aUtqRkRl8T


A real demo of blockchain in Javascript!! 👏 #ggdsyd https://t.co/Tixc4hlPGY


Where was this talk 11 years ago, @notsolonecoder?! #ggdsyd https://t.co/PAzoRc8UY5


OHAI. It me. (I feel seen.) #ggdsyd @notsolonecoder https://t.co/TRxzyX4hHV


Literally a dozen other people are wincing and chuckling in recognition of their own selves. #ggdsyd https://t.co/pwC8Ow2eoV


Damn. In mixed groups, women volunteered for crappy tasks more often, and were EXPECTED and NOMINATED to do this by everybody else. Now I’m annoyed I didn’t know about this for my #sydtechleaders rant last week. #ggdsyd https://t.co/UiV9Ew6aBw


A couple years back, I saw @notsolonecoder give a talk on growth mindsets, and consequently “GROWTH MINDSET” became a personal mantra. Looks like she’s just inspired another one… #ggdsyd https://t.co/Mn0UxOKYB4


Spiritual cousin to @notsolonecoder’s talk is @mipsytipsy’s advice about staying technical. QFT. #ggdsyd https://t.co/geLKSjm7X0


Finishing the talk with Javascript number weirdness with @megganeturner! #ggdsyd https://t.co/RIApNZW62X


@jonoabroad @whereistanya I heard a rumour she might visit Australia next year?!


I absolutely love that @megganeturner has tied a fun discussion of Javascript number weirdness into an actual bug she had to fix at @JaxstaMusic. #ggdsyd https://t.co/BdaVrqU7xd


Nearly at the house when I saw something skitter to my left. Yup, Huntsman. (My hand for scale, because I’m just that much of a badass.) 🕷 https://t.co/YPtTs7rdEG https://t.co/X014d74vJL

@whereistanya @jonoabroad @JeffreyTheobald YAY! I spoke at that one last year – fantastic group, and Jeff is one of my fave people. Now I have to figure out how to get to Melbourne for it (unless your trip has a stop off in Sydney??).

@christmasHAMsel 😳


@mattallen @rabbieburns @paulmiggs Whaaaaat. I am going to the wrong team meetings, clearly.


My brain: “Oh good. That “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” earworm is finally—DAMN IT.” ☹️


You think I’m trolling, but I’m not. 😏 https://t.co/fRDp5xW03y


@lifeasdaddy Not too much. Was more an artefact of poor lighting conditions.
