@BronwenZ Special event we’re doing for 500 primary and secondary school girls in Blacktown. We’ve got an expo with lots of cool tech to play with, as well as panel of women in tech and a silly little keynote from me. ❤️


@BronwenZ Yes, afaik. It’s something our infrastructure team organised I believe. Seems like there’s a lot of demand though!


There’s just so much wrong here, @GIPHY. https://t.co/ep1faMEChb A bunch of those are Poldark, for crying out loud. And I really need a “Shall we be quite safe here, Mr. Darcy?” one. (I use that phrase, like, weekly.)


@phermens @BronwenZ I will definitely pass on that feedback!


RT @_alexrowland: Ok, I know my whole brand is enthusiastic capslock screeching, but I need to be serious for a second. I need to tell you…


@damovisa It was in the previous version of the talk! 😜


This is exactly the type of sweater I like most to knit. 😂 See https://t.co/enzmi83Eg3 and https://t.co/9C9DMoNfzH and https://t.co/cypJ86UNIh… https://t.co/sZJxODnheU


Love @twilio’s approach to tech conference swag – non-black/blue/grey shirts and actual SCRUNCHIES! 😍 Thanks @philnash. #yow19 https://t.co/APYMb344id


Lots of chuckling as @caseyrosenthal tells us about his career journey through the 15th and 19th centuries… #yow19 https://t.co/obaDaXHvto


Engineers implicitly operate within this model – economics, workload, safety. No need to make rules about economics and workload – we have intuition on how far we can push. But on safety… we don’t. That’s why we still have incidents. #yow19 @caseyrosenthal https://t.co/N10iHbVjwA


@caseyrosenthal Chaos engineering is about uncovering systemic weakness and helping engineers build that safety intuition. #yow19 @caseyrosenthal https://t.co/OMC52g12TX


Complex systems are ones where a person cannot possibly model it in their head. (Reminds me of Jane from the Ender books…) @caseyrosenthal on why Netflix doesn’t have chief architects. #yow19 https://t.co/7DQSLTvSeh


I see what you did there, @caseyrosenthal… 😂 #yow19 https://t.co/o7mJNuZ6NS
